Programs of the ACO 

Building the village of post adoption support. The Adoption Council of Ontario’s motto is kids need families and families need support. We believe that adoption is not just an event, but a lifelong journey.

 The ACO strives to help educate and provide ongoing support as needed to everyone who might be touched by adoption in the community. Through its award-winning AdoptOntario program, the ACO helps children who need families find permanent, loving, adoptive homes. Once those families are formed it is critical to provide them with support. The ACO is striving to increase post-adoption supports to adoptive families so that adoptive children and their adoptive families have the support they need to flourish. To help understand these needs and support the families of Ontario, we have continued to look for creative and sustainable initiatives that will help us create forever homes for all young people in Ontario. 

Programs of the ACO include: 

• Permanency and Adoption Support Services
• Youth Network
• Permanency Adoption Competency Training
• AdoptOntario
