Some foster children will never go back to their birth family. But every child deserves a "forever family."
If you are interested in providing a safe and loving home to a child; if you have patience and wisdom to share; you could be the perfect parent for a child who truly needs you.
Children waiting for adoption include:
- Children with special needs, such as physical, mental, and emotional disabilities
- Sibling groups
- Teenagers
- Minority children, especially African American males
