We live in Gananoque, outside of Kingston.
We were also told there were no children available, or there may be a 5yr or more wait. You need to persevere!
Ask about the the bi-annual presentation held in T.O. every April and October featuring 'waiting children!
Once your homestudy is completed you are welcome to attend. We went to two and were amazed at the beautiful children in need of loving families. Many were virtually babies - under 2yrs. Several were sibling sets made up of ages under 2.5 and a baby!
Suggestion: have your homestudy done privately and then go to CAS. This makes your family 'available for placement' while others wait to be reviewed. Even if your agency says there are no placements happening through them there are children available through this presentation. GO!
Good luck to you.
Email me if you want to pursue me for more info or support.
