Just phone these agencies and they will send full information packets to their address. Many of our patients recommend to anyone who is thinking of adoption to drop by the Adoptive Families Association of British Columbia office (AFABC). They are located at 7342 Winston street, Burnaby (604 320 7350). They run a class re all the above options and we found it very informative. The staff in the office are wonderful and they have a full library of information.
