About Adoption

The Children's Aid Society of Oxford County is in need of adoptive homes for children in our care and children in care across the province.

People interested in exploring adoption are encouraged to contact the Adoption Worker with the Society. Information sessions are offered throughout the year and at least times a year the P.R.I.D.E. training program  (Parent Resources for Information, Development and Education) is offered to inform and educate prospective parents on the challenegs and rewards of this lifelong committment.  PRIDE sessions run several times over the year.

Please contact the Adoption Worker at 1-800-250-7010 ext. 333 for more information on the opportunities available. As with other aspects of our work, the opportunities are open to people in a variety of life circumstances.

WHAT'S NEW??

AFTER (Adoptive Families Training, Educating & Relating)

If you’ve already been through the adoption process, you know that a child’s arrival isn’t the end of a journey-- it’s the start.

AFTER (Adoptive Families Training, Educating & Relating) is a group of adoptive parents who come together to share their experiences, ask questions, learn from each other, and learn from child experts. The network also hosts semi-annual family events so that children have an opportunity to develop friendships with other adopted children as they grow.

If you are interested in connecting with other adoptive families, send us an e-mail at

after.oxford@gmail.com
