5. FTIA (our agency) sends letter to IAD (international Adoption Department) to request the introduction of a child to the family. (Please note that FTIA will not send the initial request to the IAD for a family to be matched with a referral until we are aware of a child that meets the family's criteria.), 1 day.
6. IAD prepares letter to Provincial Department of Justice (PDOJ) asking if there is any child meeting the requirements of the family. This 1st IAD letter is called 1 A, 2 days.
7. IAD 1A Letter reaches PDOJ (IAD normally sends letter by registered regular mail), 7 days.

10. PDOJ forwards the CCC's reply to the IAD, 14 days.
11. The IAD informs FTIA that there is a child to be matched with a prospective family. FTIA then makes the official referral and we wait for family to accept or decline the referral. If the family agrees to the placement, we submit the family's confirmation letter to the IAD indicating that the family has agreed to adopt the identified child.3 days for IAD to inform FTIA; FTIA will notify family ASAP.
This is why is takes 41/2 to 5 months after a baby is abandoned before they can be adopted.
