Apply for a Grant

The adoption journey is a wonderful and miraculous experience, yet along the way there will be obstacles to overcome. For many families, the financial hurdle may be the most difficult one to conquer. Those who are not familiar with the process may easily become frustrated or disheartened with the costs associated with adoption. While many families have room in their hearts and homes for a child, they all too often become discouraged and do not answer the call to adopt due to monetary concerns. ABBA Canada is working to help with the financial burden of adoption.

Before you start, please ensure your agency is a registered charity. WE CANNOT OFFER YOU A GRANT IF YOUR AGENCY IS NOT A REGISTERED CHARITY. The grant must be paid directly to an agency that is a registered charity and you must have a balance owing at the time of cashing your grant. You can check charitable status here or ask your agency. Mail the completed application, reference list, and copies of your home study and tax return to:

ABBA Canada Box 311, STN Milner, Langley, B.C. V2Y 0W9
