Adoption
Adoption is a truly loving option. No baby is unwanted.
There are many couples in Canada waiting and willing to adopt babies. Adoption is not giving up your baby. Adoption is giving your child the gift of a family.
We encourage you to visit AdoptionInCanada.ca. This is a great resource designed to put the adoption process in perspective. This website attempts to lead the woman, who has discovered her untimely pregnancy, through the common misconceptions about adoption and give her the knowledge and tools she needs to make an informed decision.
To find out about how to start the adoption process, you can contact one of the following adoption agencies:
