Would-be adoptive parents in Canada are hopeful that their adoption plans will be finalized now that a group of families have agreed to help rescue an adoption agency from bankruptcy. The move comes after nearly 200 people met to discuss the fate of the agency, and their pending adoptions.

After the meeting, Christine Starr, chairwoman of Families of Imagine Adoption, told the Winnipeg Free Press that it was "a moving moment ... to see all 189 people present vote in favour of working towards taking the agency out of bankruptcy."

Kids Link International Adoption Agency, which operated under the name Imagine Adoption, went into receivership on July 14, sending hundreds of pending adoptions into limbo. A group of adoptive parents quickly joined forces to find out what their options were and determine their response.
