Mission
CAFAC's mission is to aid relinquished, abandoned or orphaned children to find homes through adoption by approved families.
CAFAC's commitment to families does not end with the arrival of the child. We serve as a support group to adoptive families. We host annual picnics and outings where adoptive families can get together for enjoyment, education, and for sharing experiences.
History
CAFAC was founded in January of 1995 by adoptive parents of Ethiopian children. We served as facilitators for Ethiopian adoptions. March 15th, 1999 CAFAC became a licensed agency under the New Adoption Act of the Province of Manitoba.
