R茅sum茅 (en anglais seulement): Until the second half of the twentieth century, child adoption and placement in Quebec received limited governmental support, either in terms of resources or legislation. Private actors largely took the initiative. Thus, what is now a highly formalised and heavily regulated realm was not all that long ago largely informal and subject to minimal state regulation. Exploration of the surviving documents and archives provides a fresh perspective on the concrete history of these institutions and on the proposed changes in this area, including the opening of adoption files.
