How We Can Help
Canada Adopts! is committed to providing hopeful adoptive parents and birth mothers information and inspiration. We do this in two ways:

Search Tool Component:
Waiting Parents can get a leg up in their search for a healthy newborn by joining our Waiting Parents Registry. Post your "Dear Birth Mother" letter online in the hopes of attracting the attention of a pregnant woman with an adoption plan. What comes next is totally up to you. Hopefully, it will mark the beginning of a dialogue, one that could last a lifetime.

Resource Tool Component:
Drawing on our skills and experience, we'll demystify the adoption process and show you how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. What's more, we'll supply you with practical strategies to adopt while you're adopting (waiting parents) or considering adoption for your child (prospective birth mothers) so that you can make your dream a reality. Best of all, everything listed below is free.
