WORKING TOGETHER FOR LASTING CONNECTIONS
The Full Story
MISSION. VISION. VALUES
The Child and Youth Permanency Council of Canada’s voice for adoption, unifying communities’ commitment to permanency for waiting children and youth. We support and encourage people along their adoption journey, connecting them to the families and resources they need.
Our vision is a permanent, supported family for every waiting child and youth in Canada.
As Canada’s only national, non-profit, charitable organization serving adopted persons, adoptive families, and birth families, we are focused on the need to raise awareness about the approximately 30,000 children and youth in government care across Canada who need permanent families (through kinship care, adoption, customary care and legal guardianship). We also facilitate programs that promote the placement of waiting children and youth in permanent, safe, loving and culturally competent families.
Our Main Objectives
The mission of the CYPCC, while broadly serving the entire adoption community of adopted persons, birth families, and adoptive families, focuses on three main objectives:
Raising Awareness & Building Permanent Families
We work to increase awareness and support programs that connect children and youth in care with safe, loving, and culturally appropriate permanent families.
1)
2)
Advocating for Provincial Needs
We support adoption agencies and organizations by amplifying their voices and helping address provincial challenges through collaboration with government and the private sector.
3)
Raising Awareness & Supporting Permanency
We raise awareness about children and youth in Canada’s child welfare system who are waiting for adoption, and support programs that help place them in permanent, loving, and culturally competent families.
