The Gap This Site Addresses
Across the U.S. organizations and media promote the urgent need for adoptive families for children in foster care.
Many adults respond with sincere interest in adoption. But once they reach out, the path forward is often unclear, delayed, or redirected into foster parent licensing — even when adoption is their specific goal.
Some adults are told adoption through foster care is not possible at all. Others never hear back.
This site exists to clarify the path to adopting children waiting in the U.S. foster care system.
