Adoption

As a licensed adoption agency, we offer services for both adoptive and birth parents. We have registered social workers available throughout BC to ensure that there is one in or near your community whenever possible. Although the guidelines and standards we follow are the same as the Ministry For Child and Family Development’s (MCFD), we specialize in domestic (in-BC) infant, and inter-country (child from another country) adoption placements.

The Adoption Reunion Registry has a legislated mandate to provide search, intermediary and counselling services to those whose lives have been affected by a B.C. adoption. This website will tell you more about our services, outline step-by-step instructions for registering with us, and provide you with useful adoption-related information and links.

The Adoption Centre works with both birth parents and adoptive families. Operating since 1996, we have registered social workers available throughout BC to ensure that there is one in or near your community whenever possible. Our social workers are qualified to conduct a range of services including counselling, home studies and reports.

The Adoptive Families Association of BC has supported adoption and adoptive families since 1977. Our province-wide family services ensure that people considering adoption, and those who have already adopted, are educated, connected, and supported. We are dedicated to finding a family for every child, both here and abroad.

PARENT FINDERS was founded in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, in August 1974, to provide a support group for adult adoptees, birth relatives and adopting parents. Today, there are 20 PARENT FINDERS chapters active across Canada. We also maintain strong ties with 15 activist groups throughout the United States, England, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
