Services We Provide

As a licensed adoption agency, we offer services for both adoptive and birth parents. We have registered social workers available throughout BC to ensure that there is one in or near your community whenever possible. The guidelines and standards we follow are the same as the Ministry of Children and Family Development’s (MCFD), and we specialize in domestic (in-BC) infant, and inter-country (child from another country) and Ministry (child from BC in foster care system) adoption placements.

Choosing The Adoption Centre of British Columbia

As either a prospective adoptive parent or birth parent you have the choice to work with an adoption agency or MCFD. It is important to be aware of your options because it’s critical that you make the choice that is the best fit for you, which in turn benefits the children.

There are many differences between an agency and MCFD that you may want to explore including:

• Types of families available
• Time frames
• Fees (not applicable to birth parents)

For a description of the types of adoption we facilitate, see types of adoption.

Adoption is a complex process and we invite you to contact us at any point in your research or your adoption journey. We will be happy to mail you an information package if you prefer that to spending time on the website.

"Thank you for all your caring support during our emotional roller coaster. Words cannot express our appreciation of your thoughtfulness."
