Public Domestic Adoption in CanadaPublic domestic adoption refers to any adoption arranged by a public or government agency such as the Children's Aid Society.
Adopting through a public agency is much more tightly controlled than going through a private agency. • As a prospective adoptive parent, you have fewer choices. The focus of public agencies is on the safety and welfare of the child. • As a result, the priority is in finding the right set of parents for a child rather than the right child for a set of parents.
The CostsThere are usually no costs involved in adopting through a public agency
Private Domestic Adoption in Canada • Private domestic adoption refers to any adoption within Canada that is not arranged by a public agency. • "Private" in this context doesn't mean that the adoption is done quietly or in secret. In fact, most private domestic adoptions nowadays are open adoptions.

The Process • The key difference is that in private adoption the wait for a healthy newborn is much shorter and prospective adoptive couples (and birth mothers) have much more control over the process than with public adoption
The Costs • The fees for a private domestic adoption vary considerably and can run anywhere from about $10,000-20,000. • The variation depends on how quickly or easily you can find a child, what method you use to do this, and where the child lives.
