About children in care…

1. Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux is taking this month-long opportunity to raise awareness about children and youth in care who are waiting for an adoptive home, and to recognize adoption as a valued way to build a family.
2. There are more than 1,000 children waiting for the stability and care of an adoptive family, including teenagers, those with special needs and siblings. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Adoptive Families Association of BC – we are working to find those 1,000 families.
3. Potential adoptive parents come from diverse backgrounds and have a range of life experiences. Anyone 19 and over who is interested in providing a loving, nurturing home may be eligible to adopt. If you’re looking to build your family, visit HERE or call 1-877-ADOPT-07.
