Meet Waiting Children

More than 3,000 children are currently waiting for adoptive homes in North Carolina. These children require unconditional love and patience because of prior experiences and circumstances. They may have come from homes where they were abused, neglected or abandoned. These children may have special needs. They may be developmentally delayed or medically fragile, and some have siblings who need to stay together as a family. The need for adoptive homes is great, especially for children over 6 years of age and minority children of all ages.

Search for Available Children.

People ready to adopt are given specialized training to equip them to be successful adoptive parents. Financial assistance is often available for therapy and medical services, based upon a child's needs. There are no adoption fees when adopting waiting children.

If you have room in your heart, and you are willing to make a lifelong commitment to a child, even a child who may bring challenges as well as joy to your home, we want to hear from you.

CHS understands that adoption is a process as much as an event. After an adoption, families receive:

• Post-placement visits and support
  
• On-going post adoption services
  
• The CHS Supportive Post Adoption Network (SPAN)
