The JF&CS Adoption Program is responsible for securing suitable, nurturing, permanent Jewish homes for children/youth in our care who are eligible for adoption. Post-adoption disclosure and counselling support is available to families facing the particular challenges that parenting adopted children may raise.

​

Jewish Family and Child Service strives to ensure that every child/youth in our care has a permanent life-long connection to someone from the Jewish Community.  This could mean that no matter how old they are, or if they are now an adult, they have a place at someone’s Shabbat Table every Friday night, or that they have a place at someone’s Seder every Passover.  Every child/youth/young adult deserves to belong somewhere.

​

For more information, please visit the Centralized Adoption Intake Service (CAIS) which will provide introductory information to people who are curious to learn more about adoption, with a focus on public adoption. To learn more about adopting, the first step is to talk to us and let us know you're interested. Please call 416 638-7800 and ask for Intake.
