There are many people in British Columbia who have been waiting a long time to adopt a baby. At the same time, there are many special-needs and older children waiting for adoption In order to help unite more of these children and parents, your Government is providing new information and support services because we recognize that successful adoption is not an easy task. Adopting an older or a special-needs child is a major decision for a family to make. It requires an informed decision based upon the strength of the family and the particular needs of each child. Special-needs children include some with physical or mental handicaps, learning disabilities, developmental delays, or who may have been abused. In addition to providing a stable home, families may need to obtain therapy, counselling, rehabilitation services or special equipment to help children deal with medical problems In Vancouver and Prince George there are adoption projects in place supported by staff specially trained in assisting potential parents in making the best decision, and to help them meet the challenges of older and special-needs children If you would like to learn more about adopting an older or a special-needs child, contact your local office of the Ministry of Social Services and Housing Our future needs responsible decisions.
