Children can't wait to have a family, and every child deserves a loving and committed permanent family. Children placed for adoption through the ministry are in the permanent care of B.C.’s Ministry of Children and Family Development. At any given time, B.C. has about 1200 children waiting to be adopted. They range in age, personality and needs. Are you interested in adopting? Potential adoptive parents come from diverse backgrounds and they have a range of life experiences. But they have one thing in common … a desire to grow their family by providing a loving and nurturing home to a child who needs it. Please review our web pages for information about adopting or placing your child for adoption.
