As resident of BC, you can adoption children from many provinces, states and countries. My rough estimate is that at least one million children could be matched with a resident of BC. As of May 2016, children can be adopted through our BC adoption agencies from:
- BC and the other provinces and territories in Canada;
- USA: The population of the USA is approximately 325 million people. There are several hundred adoption agencies in the USA. There are many newborns and older children in need of permanent families;
- Africa: Contact an adoption agency for its Africa country programs;
- Asia: China, India, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam;
- Caribbean: Haiti;
- Central/South America: Colombia, Guyana, Nicaragua;
- Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Romania;
- Pacific Islands: Samoa.
