About Adoption

We are committed to finding suitable permanent homes for children. Children placed for adoption range in age from newborn upwards, their racial and cultural backgrounds reflect our multicultural mosaic.

Because the child's welfare is our chief concern we concentrate on finding the most suitable home for the child rather than finding a child for the adoptive family.

Several factors are taken into consideration before adoption can occur. The process includes the completion of an application, information sessions, interviews, police checks, health assessment, and references.

Legalities
Section VII of The Child and Family Services Act (CFSA) outlines adoption requirements as they apply to adoptions of children living in Ontario and those from other countries or provinces that are finalized in an Ontario court.

The CFSA details the process of adoptions, right from obtaining the consent of the birth parents to the final court order through which a child becomes the child of the adoptive parents.

The legislation is intended to protect the rights of everyone involved in an adoption: the child, the child's birth parents, and the adoptive parents.
