In Quebec, adoptions by public child welfare services are an important part of the total number of adoptions by legal authorities. Unfortunately, this type of adoption is not well known by the general public and understudied in research. This article explores the Quebec “Banque mixte” program (foster-to-adopt parents) in comparison with the concurrent planning programs developed in the United States and the United Kingdom. The literature review provides a portrait of the foundations and principles behind concurrent planning as well as its challenges.
