Interested in Fostering

The Child Protection Information Network (CPIN) is a province-wide, single information system for all children's aid societies (CAS) in Ontario. When an individual applies to become an adoptive parent, they will be informed about CPIN. When their identifying information is entered into the system, the CAS checking the provincial database may learn of any previous involvement that person has had with any CAS in Ontario. To continue with the application, the individual will be asked to consent to the collection of their information in CPIN and to a search of the CPIN database. All approved resource parents involved with the Children's Aid Society of Toronto will be registered in CPIN. This enables information about adoptive/foster families to be readily available to inform CAS adoption workers and assist in making better matches when placing children and youth.
