Resources: Private Adoption Agencies

Looking for a private adoption agency? Look no further.

Private adoption agencies are provincially-licensed organizations that provide a variety of pre- and post-adoption services to both prospective adoptive parents and/or birth parents in a private adoption. Depending on their range of services, they can facilitate adoptions within Canada (domestically) or outside of it (internationally).

Unlike public adoption agencies which offer services for minimum or no fees, most private adoption agencies have a specific fee schedule and are only available in some provinces.

To find out more about what private adoption agencies can offer you, feel free to contact them directly.
