FORM AA-11: Consent of Child to Adoption

Court File Number: 2026-MNITOBA-001

Child: The State of Minnesota

Section 1: Acknowledgment

I, the State of Minnesota, acknowledge that:

1. I have been informed of the Province of Manitoba's intent to welcome me into their family.
2. I understand this would involve leaving my current guardian (the United States of America) and joining the Canadian provincial family.
3. I have been provided with information about Manitoba, including their healthcare system, hydro power, lake inventory, and hockey infrastructure.

Section 2: Consent

Do you consent to this adoption?

• Yes, enthusiastically
• Yes, with reservations (please specify below)
• Need more time to consider
• No
• Have not yet been formally asked but seem amenable based on cultural indicators

Notes: Minnesota has not yet been formally presented with this proposal. However, based on existing cultural alignment, cross-border friendships, shared values, and the fact that Minnesotans already say "sorry" more than most Americans, we anticipate a positive reception.
