Foster to Adopt
(America’s Orphans)

While the ultimate goal is to reunify a Foster Child with their biological family, that isn’t always what happens. When a biological parent’s right to a Foster Child or Youth has been terminated, it then gives the opportunity for a Foster Family to potentially adopt the youth or child. Keep in mind this is not always the case and the goal is always to reunify with the biological family when possible.

Adoption
(New Beginnings)

Private Infant Adoptions are U.S.-born infant(s) or children for adoption by their birth parents who legally consent to the adoption with an adoptive family of their choosing.


(Note: During today’s climate, we are seeing fewer birth parents placing their infant(s) for adoption. While there still are possibilities, the availability of infant adoption is few.)
