If I may, I will just add that the majority of children who are available for adoption through children's aid societies are older. The average age for when a child comes into care as a crown ward is usually between nine and eleven years; they've been in and out of care for periods of time before they have legal status as a crown ward of the province. There is a small group of children who are under the age of six; they're babies and they become adoptable earlier. But then there is generally a much larger group of older children.
