Adoption in Ontario

We believe that all children deserve a loving, permanent family. Using a child-centred approach, we complete homestudies, updates, and post-placement reports for private, public, and international adoptions. 

International Adoption happens when a Canadian resident decides to adopt a child from another country. There are strict rules and agreements in placed between Canada and participating countries regarding which countries Canadians can adopt from. 

*You must have an approved homestudy to adopt internationally

Private Adoptions in Canada happen through private agencies that work with the birth parents in order to assist them in choosing the most appropriate family for their child. Often private adoptions have some degree of openness with the birth family. 

Public Adoption happens through Children's Aid Societies in Ontario. CAS facilitates the matching of children who are wards of the Society with approved prospective families. Parents typically work directly with the Society. 

Kinship adoption is the adoption of a family member or someone within your close social circle. This is known as kith or kin. Applicants may be approached by the Children’s Aid Society to consider adoption, or, applicants and the birth parents may agree on an adoption plan.
