Preventing Adoption Disruption with Debbie Riley
The Ministry of Children and Family Development Fraser Region in partnership with the Adoptive Families Association of BC invite MCFD adoption and guardianship workers to attend a day of discussions, strategies, and techniques to treat and prevent adoption disruptions during the adoption process.

The day will include detailed scenarios, case studies, and advanced techniques to help prepare workers to meet the real needs of children and families.

Key Note Speaker: Debbie Riley, M.S, is the CEO of C.A.S.E. (The Center for Adoption Support and Education). and a marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience. Debbie specializes in treating the complexities of adoption and adolescence, children adopted internationally who are experiencing post-trauma stress and adjustment challenges, as well as children who struggle with complex learning and emotional needs. She is the adoptive parent of one child.

Hosted By

Adoptive Families Association of BC



AFABC is a non-profit organization that provides province-wide support services and information to people who are beginning to think about adoption, people who have decided to adopt, and those who have already had a child or children join their family. AFABC also plays a significant role in promoting awareness and recruiting families for the close to 1000 children waiting in foster care for an adoptive family.

AFABC was started around a kitchen table in 1977 by a small group of adoptive parents who needed to share ideas, information, and support.

Vision: A Family for Every Child

Mission: To promote and support adoption
