Adoptive Families Association of BC

The Belonging Network, formerly known as the Adoptive Families Association of BC, is dedicated to providing support, resources, and connection for adoptive and permanency families as well as youth transitioning from government care. They offer assistance to a wide range of individuals and families, including caregivers, Indigenous families, waiting families, adoptive families, birth parents, 2SLGBTQIA+ families, professionals, and more.

Permanency, defined as belonging and lifelong connection, is a core focus of the Belonging Network. They support families in creating stable environments for children and youth through adoption, guardianship, kinship care, and Indigenous customary care arrangements. Additionally, they help youth transitioning from care develop the necessary skills and support for physical, cultural, and relational permanency as they enter adulthood.

Through various programs and workshops, the Belonging Network equips families and youth with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate adoption, permanency, and independent adulthood. Their online educational opportunities cater to the specific needs of each individual or family, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for learning and growth.
