Last year, more than 1,500 families were approved in Ontario as potential adoptive parents, 822 adoptions finalized. Yet the need for adoptive parents for children and youth in the care of Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies still remains extraordinarily high.

“There are more than 9,200 Crown wards in Ontario and every one of them deserves a permanent family,” said Jeanette Lewis, Executive Director, Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies. “Many of these children can be adopted given the right match.”
