Adoption Centre of British Columbia

The Adoption Centre of BC helped me to have a family. From the day of my very first meeting until the end when I arrived back to Canada ACBC was informative, knowledgeable, supportive, caring, and encouraging. I adopted internationally, which is a very slow process, which can be emotionally difficult. Everyone at ACBC carefully guided me with ALL the paper work which was required, as well as was supportive and encouraging when the wait got tough for me. I can't say enough wonderful things about ACBC!

When considering an agency for international adoption, the quality of the team that agency has on the ground in the country, is as important as the comfort you feel with the Agency staff here. With both the ACBC team, and their Rep in Haiti, I always felt that everything was done legally and above board. I value the years of experience in Haitian adoptions that both Marni and their rep have. I have never worried about legal details being missed or that any corners were ever cut.From the first phone call, I appreciated Marni's candor, warmth and professionalism as well as her ability to put us at ease. Her visits have always been a pleasure and something we look forward to. When I was struggling, she had the perfect words at the perfect time to keep us keeping on and we are so glad we did.Vicki has always been so quick to respond, pleasant to engage with and helpful to provide anything we have needed administratively.I always felt like our safety was a top priority and that ACBC's on ground representative in Haiti was experienced and well equipped to provide the safest, smoothest experience possible. Our socialization trip involved a lot more travel in country than most (at an unstable time) so it was especially reassuring for us to have her, and her staff, plan our in country travel in the safest way possible and escort us.In the end, we brought our daughter home in the pandemic, when flights were grounded so we needed help from government and had to hire a private plane. It was definitely a 'ground breaking' situation for everyone involved. Not only was every 'i' dotted and every 't' crossed legally, but everyone we worked with, from the flight company to Canadian Senators, spoke very highly of how the Representative in Haiti worked, those last 2 days, to make what seemed impossible happen.

From the moment that we had our consultation with The Adoption Centre of BC, we felt like family. We knew instantly that they would take wonderful care of us, and we were not wrong. In fact, we had no idea just how invested every single of of the staff would be in our journey.It was not long after we found out that we could not conceive that we started the process, so we were emotionally fragile. Linette was extremely patient with all of my questions, constant emails, and phone calls. I think that she even teared up when she called to tell us that we had been matched! The fact that these ladies are also adoptive parents, makes it easy to talk to them and express any worries or concerns.I would recommend ACBC to anyone looking to start or expand their family through adoption. This can be such an emotional and heartbreaking process, but with the right team behind you, it can also be a beautiful experience!

My Husband & I cannot speak highly enough of the Adoption Centre of British Columbia. All the staff were so personable and helpful in our adoption journey. They were always able to answer questions and be of great support, through what can be a challenging and special process. Ultimately leading to our adoption of a beautiful baby girl. Thanks so much again.

I can’t say enough good things about the staff! They have been so amazing at helping us facilitate the adoption of our daughter. They took us on when our old agency up and closed on us. They made us feel safe, cared for and important. Vickie and Linette, I don’t know how we can ever say think you enough for all your support to my family. I highly recommend KCR agency. They go above and beyond and are there for you through the whole process. You guys are all truly amazing !

The Adoption Centre of BC has been nothing short of amazing and supportive on our adoption journey. The process of adopting is not an easy one, but if growing your family through adoption is your path, the ACofBC will be there for you every step of the way.Adoption is a journey with many challenging steps but the team at the Adoption Centre of BC has been friendly, caring and honest about guiding us through the process. The team was able to virtually meet with us when we first inquired about adoption options. They operate province wide offering support for both the adoptive family and the birth parents no matter where they are in BC.The approval process is very thorough and ensures that a family looking to adopt is ready for the process. But the process was worth it for us and the support we received upon placement and after has made it that much easier. Our social worker even went so far as to connect us with other families who adopted around the same time as us, a great way to form a support network.The journey doesn’t end at placement, but we’re pleased that the Adoption Centre of BC has been there for us through all of the lows and highs and value the support they continue to give on this path.

The Adoption Centre of BC has been welcoming to my husband and I since the first phone call in 2019. Deanna, Linette, and Vickie all played such a huge roll in our adoption journey and were always kind, encouraging, and resourceful any time we had questions or concerns. Our wait was longer than some but also shorter than others and I remember from day 1 Linette telling us that the baby that is meant for you will find you no matter the wait time. I can’t express how true those words are and how it all came full circle one we received our “call” in the summer of 2022. If you are considering adoption whether it be as adoptive parents or you are a birth parent, know that the people on the other end of your phone calls, texts or emails are caring, loving and want nothing but the best for you ❤️

Working with the Adoption Center of British Columbia has been such a pleasure. Both Marni and Deanna have been so great at quickly responding to any of my questions or concerns. You can tell how much they care about their clients and we have truly enjoyed working with them.

My husband and I recently adopted a beautiful little soul and we cannot express how awesome the journey has been. Adoption is not for the faint of heart. Their can be sadness and heartbreak. Which we experienced, but in the end it lead us to our little girl. She was written in the stars. Linette has been absolutely amazing. Always taking the time to listen with an open heart. As well as explain things so articulately. I hope more people open their heart to adoption because it is an amazing journey. Nothing but the purest love. When Linette was off and there were questions there was always someone who promptly returned calls or emails. A truly wonderful agency. We are lucky to have them.If you are considering adoption I say jump on in. Its a path you won't regret.

When we made the decision to start the adoption process we had done research but we were still so unsure of the entire process.The Adoption Centre answered 100% of our questions in a quick and professional manner. From the first consult call to the moments leading up to meeting our daughter, there were no questions to silly."The team at the Adoption Centre made the process substantially smoother then we had ever expected.The team supported us through the emotional hurdles
