kids

Welcome!

Most children waiting to be adopted are school-aged or in a sibling group that needs to stay together. Many have emotional disabilities; others have physical, mental or developmental disabilities. All need the love of a permanent family.

Since 1972, the Center has helped to find adoptive families for more than 21,000 U.S. children and helped countless families through the adoption process. We've gathered much information on this site. Learn how to adopt a waiting child or teenager by reading through our site. Request adoption information by filling out this form.
