Odd because = here in Ontario and more specifically they CAS where i live - we were told that we would not be considered for Aboriginal children because neither of us have status. I have aboriginal family on my dad's side (still trying to figure out how far back) and my husband does as well ( SIL is constantly being asked by CAS re her daughters child who is in her care - what band she is with - She looks cree but we cannot get ANY information about heritage because her Grandma denies any connection - she has a very shady past.)
Either way i think it is very frustrating that there is not a national standard for these things. Not fair that AB and Maritimes have wonderfull programs and even advertising promoting adoption and in Ontario we aren;t even back burner - we fell behind the stove !
