Strategic Parenting

Adopted children face all the regular challenges of being a kid coupled with the issues of being an adopted child. The success of adoptees and their families is enhanced when their parents and foster parents understand the unique experience that comes with being an adopted child. This workshop educates families and professionals about these challenges.

Adoptive Families Association of BC



AFABC is a non-profit organization that provides province-wide support services and information to people who are beginning to think about adoption, people who have decided to adopt, and those who have already had a child or children join their family. AFABC also plays a significant role in promoting awareness and recruiting families for the close to 1000 children waiting in foster care for an adoptive family.

AFABC was started around a kitchen table in 1977 by a small group of adoptive parents who needed to share ideas, information, and support.

Vision: A Family for Every Child

Mission: To promote and support adoption
