ABOUT THE NEW BRUNSWICK ADOPTION FOUNDATION
The New Brunswick Adoption Foundation provides the private sector, community groups, and individuals a vehicle to promote the adoption of children in the permanent care of the Minister of Social Development.
NBAF is an incorporated not-for-profit organization. NBAF was founded in March 2002 and was the first foundation of its kind in Canada. NBAF is funded through donations, support from the Province of New Brunswick, and in-kind support from individuals and corporations who share the Foundation’s vision that every child or youth in the permanent care of the Province finds a permanent family.

We acknowledge that we carry out our work on the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources, but recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik titles and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
We, the staff and members of the board, pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land. We honor the knowledge keepers and seek their guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous people in New Brunswick. As an organization focused on vulnerable children in the care system, we express these words with both humility and hope.
