Family Services of Greater Vancouver is a community-based not-for-profit organization that has been providing social services to children, youth, adults, and families across the lower mainland since 1928.
In July 1997, Family Services was granted a license to provide adoption planning and placement services. Our adoption agency provides counselling and adoption services to birth parents and adoptive parents. We arrange adoptions within BC, as well as from other provinces in Canada and have facilitated many relative and orphan intercountry adoptions. Some of the countries that our families have adopted from include Ethiopia China, Philippines, the USA and India. Family Services has also facilitated relative and orphan adoptions from other countries. We welcome and support families of all types, including same sex families and single applicants.
Whether you are a birth parent exploring your options or thinking about placing your child for adoption in British Columbia, or an adoptive parent wanting more information on how to adopt a child locally or from overseas, our team of experienced professionals can assist you through the adoption process.
