Convention on the Rights of the Child

Every child in Canada and around the world from birth to 18 has rights. Rights are what a child should have or be able to do to survive, thrive and meet their full potential. All rights are equally important and are connected to each other. We are born with these rights, and no one has the right to take them away.

For those who are in the waiting process for the adoption of a child or children the convention is an important reminder of these rights.
