To be eligible to apply for adoption in Alberta, you must be a resident of Alberta at the time of application, approval and placement.

It is our policy to place children from Alberta with families in Alberta, in order for the children to maintain some stability with regard to family contact, friends, schools, and professional assistance.  Placement outside Alberta will only be considered if a child's worker is unsuccessful in recruiting and locating a suitable adoptive placement in Alberta, and if the worker feels it is in the child's best interests to explore interprovincial adoption.

If you wish to submit a question or comment to us, please fill out the form below.  The information will be sent directly to the Adoptions team only.  If you want to be contacted, please input a proper email address.
