The Children's Aid Society

Each year, The Children’s Aid Society’s Adoption Program finds homes for children in need of loving, permanent families. These children have been officially freed for adoption by their birth parents and are temporarily with foster families who, for various reasons, are unable to adopt them. We seek to transition them as quickly as possible into adoptive families who can provide permanent stability and the nurturing that every child needs. Children are introduced to their potential adoptive parents slowly, so each has a chance to get to know the other. This process starts with day visits and continues to include overnight and weekend stays, and finally, if all goes well, permanent placement. Throughout this process, Children's Aid provides all the supports children and parents need to form healthy relationships and grow together as a family. We work with utmost care to find good matches for adoptive parents and children. With so many children to adopt and so many parents who want to extend their love, our work is rewarded many times over.
