Summary

This book presents "an adoption practice that integrates customary First Nation adoption with provincial laws and regulations. This integration has been achieved for the first time in Canada by the Yellowhead Tribal Services Agency (YTSA) in Alberta. Through the YTSA, First Nation parents are able to adopt Indigenous children in customary ceremonies and access post-adoption services from the federal government" --Back cover.
