Far too many children in Canada and the world need loving homes, but Canada's adoption process isn't working as well as it should. The balance has shifted too far in favour of government regulations and bureaucracy.
Governments should do more to encourage families and promote adoption, not place undue burdens on hopeful parents.
That is why as Conservative Leader and Prime Minister I will make it a top priority to make adoption easier by:
- Making adoptive parents eligible for Employment Insurance maternity benefits, in-line with the benefits available for biological parents;
- Waiving citizenship fees and streamlining the process for adopted minors joining their new families from outside Canada; and
- Doubling the adoption expense tax allowance.
Adoption is a positive step towards life and towards families. Under my leadership, government will help families who want to offer this loving option.
Help me make this happen by donating today and supporting my campaign.
Sincerely,
