What We Do We offer comprehensive support and education services for everyone touched by permanency. Whether you're a birth parent exploring options, a prospective parent looking into adoption, an adoptee seeking reunion or support, or parents or caregivers whose families are created through permanency and need support, educational tools, or just an ear, we're here to help. What Drives Us We believe that education about adoption and permanency is important to the success of adoptive and permanent families. Knowledge about current practices in adoption dispels myths and helps families and our larger community understand the process and impact of adoption today. When any form of permanency, including adoption, becomes the plan for a child we believe the child's best interests are met when families are well-equipped with a broad understanding of the issues that may arise along the journey. Knowing what resources are available to support the child throughout his or her life within a permanent family is essential from the start. What is Permanency and Why is it Important? Our Resources Our extensive range of resources provides those with a connection to adoption, legal guardianship, Person of Sufficient Interest (PSI), and kinship care with appropriate information for their specific needs, support in their process through the Domestic Adoption Orientation Program, The Evermore Centre support groups, the The Evermore Centre Library, our mentoring program and much more. Carol Bothwell Library The Evermore Centre is home to the The Evermore Centre Carol Bothwell Library, an extensive Resource Centre which houses one of the largest adoption-related libraries in Canada. It offers information on all aspects of adoption and permanency-related topics for adults, children, professionals and students. The Carol Bothwell Library is a substantial resource for Saskatchewan Polytechnic, University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina students working on projects or bachelor and masters programs. An The Evermore Centre membership to the library allows for members to borrow books which are then mailed via Canada Post with all postage paid including book returns. Learn more about our library.
