November is about raising awareness for adoption and permanency in British Columbia and celebrating the families that provide children and youth with love and support as permanent members of their family. Adoptive families make a difference in the lives of children and youth by providing care, guidance, and a sense of belonging. They offer a welcoming stability, ensuring children and youth have the foundation they need, while recognizing the importance of staying connected to their community and culture.
This month is also about recognizing that there are children who are still waiting for permanent families. There continues to be a need for more adoptive families in British Columbia to provide children with permanent, secure, and loving homes.
There are many online resources and support services that can help families who are considering adoption.
The Ways to Adopt in British Columbia Website provides information on adoption in British Columbia, such as infant adoption, relative and stepparent adoption, and adopting a child or youth from another country.
The Adoptive Families Association of British Columbia provides information and support services for families who wish to adopt now or in the future.
