November is Adoption Awareness Month. Organizations like the Children’s Aid Society take the month to educate people on the importance of adoption, permanency and lifelong connections for children and youth in care.
Caitlin MacInnes, a Resource Worker with CAS who specializes in Foster Care Recruitment, says there is a huge need for adoption and permanency in youth 11 and older.
There are training opportunities available to give more of an inside look on what adoption and permanency looks like in Ontario, with testimonies from individuals who were in the care system and individuals who worked with the care system.
