ADOPTION
Children & Families First is committed to finding loving, supportive families for children who need permanent homes through adoption. Individual consideration is given to each family's situation in relation to the needs of the specific child or children.
Children of all racial backgrounds need adoption, however, most are African American. Many of the children have special needs or situations, such as:
- Traumatic separations from caretakers
- Multiple foster home placements
- Part of a sibling group
- 8 years of age or older
- Challenging, difficult behaviors
- Prenatal exposure to drugs and/or alcohol
- Physically and/or mentally challenged
- At-risk for HIV/AIDS
- Legal risk adoption placements (when parents' rights are not yet terminated)
- Open adoption with direct contact with birth family
