Adoption in Ontario is a legal means for another family to permanently take the responsibility of raising a child and become the child’s new family. In unfortunate cases, the birth parents are unable to care for their children. In other cases, parents seek a new family to care for their child due to a variety of reasons. The goal of adoption is to match a family with a child based on the child’s needs.
However, this can take time, and families and children may need support for successful and stable placements. If you want to become an adoptive parent in Ontario, you must be a resident. Additionally, adoptive parents can come from various backgrounds, including different religions, ethnicities, or sexual orientations. Moreover, sometimes children and youth up to 18 who can’t live safely at home with their parents or caregivers may be cared for by alternate caregivers, such as foster parents.
