Type of Adoption

By the time your home study is complete, you will need to decide which type of adoption you are planning to pursue. The two major paths our agency works with are:

Domestic
Adoptions where both the birth parents and adoptive parents are from BC.

Inter-Country
Adoptions where the child is from another country (or province) and the adoptive parents are from BC.

Two other types of adoptions we are able to help facilitate are:

Direct Placement
A direct placement occurs when the birth parents and prospective adoptive parents already know each other and are making adoption plans.

Step Parent
A "Younger Child's Views" report is required when a child between the ages of seven and twelve is being adopted by a step parent.
