Is there a place in your home that only a child can fill? Do you dream of adding to your family through adoption? You may have discovered that it is difficult to find an infant in need of an adoptive home. However, that does not mean you can not become an adoptive parent/family! The National Adoption Center (USA) estimates that there are approximately 134,000 children in the United States who are currently in foster care and waiting to be adopted. Many of these children are 3 years old or older, they may come from various ethnic backgrounds, they may be part of a group of brothers/sisters who really need to be adopted together. If you'd like to explore the possibility of adopting a child/children from foster care I invite you to download the free ebook "Adopting Older Children". Or you may email me for further information by clicking on the following link:
I do not work for any agency, nor am I paid for this project. My husband and I adopted 3 brothers ages 4, 8, and 11; after 17 years of marriage with no children. Although there have been and continue to be difficult adjustments for all of us: the positive aspects greatly outweigh any negative issues! I am doing this as a labor of love; because I know what it is like to want a child so very much! And I also know that there are 134,000 kids who want and need a stable permanent "home." It is my hope and prayer that this site will make it possible for many of those children to find a "forever family."
(Information on this site is focused on Adopting Older Children from the USA, at present. Please check out the link for International Adoption Resources for other sites with excellent information on adoptions from other countries. This site will be enlarged in the near future, to include more international resources.)
