Unfortunately, many children who come into foster care are never able to return to their birth families and thus, become available for adoption. An adoptive family plays a critical role in the life of a child providing a permanent, safe and loving home. The children waiting to be adopted range in age from 0-17, with the majority of them being between the ages of 5 and 17. Some children wait with siblings, and some wait alone. But they all remain hopeful that someone will provide them with the loving family that all children deserve.
