Adoption
Special Needs Adoption Services
Who the Children Are
They are children in need of a loving, permanent family. And they are waiting. Often referred to as "hard to place," the children for whom we seek homes are not infants, but older - usually ten to seventeen. Some have special physical, emotional or mental health needs. Others have several brothers and sisters and want to stay together. Often these children have been moved from place to place with no control over what happens to them. They are the children for whom no families have been found despite previous efforts. These children are in the foster care system and need permanent adoptive homes. What these youngsters need is a permanent family whose strength matches their needs - not the perfect family, but the family best equipped to give unconditional love, hope and security.
What to Expect
The unique needs of our waiting children are challenging. With great care and honesty we prepare adoptive parents and children with straightforward information which allows good decisions about adoption to be made. The personalized service of the skilled staff at Children Unlimited assists children and parents throughout the adoption process. The experience and commitment of Children Unlimited personnel continues to be available after the legal adoption is completed. All this lets the child and parent know they are not alone and that there is help available when problems arise. At Children Unlimited people really do care. Our dedication and the support of our patrons have ended the wait for many children.
What it Takes
No fees are charged to families for our recruitment and supportive services. Funding comes from a variety of sources including service contracts with referring agencies, businesses, groups, and individuals. We need your support, too.
