💙 Happy Family Day from the Adoption Centre of BC
Today, we honour the many beautiful ways families are formed — through love, commitment, courage, patience, and hope.
💖Family Day can hold many different emotions. For some, it’s filled with laughter and togetherness. For many waiting adoptive parents, it may be a day of longing and hope as they continue on their journey to build a family. And for birth parents who have made the loving and difficult decision to place a child for adoption, this day can carry deep reflection — love, grief, pride, and enduring connection.
At the Adoption Centre of British Columbia, we honour every part of the adoption story. We hold space for all members of the adoption triad — birth families, adoptive families, and adoptees — recognizing that each experience is unique and meaningful.
Today, and every day, we send compassion and strength to those parenting, those waiting, those remembering, and those hoping.
Families are built in many ways, and every story matters. 💛
