Choose Family
10 months old. 10 years old. Boy. Girl. Brothers. Sisters. When you adopt, you’re not just choosing a child – you’re choosing a family.
Regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, whether adopted as a single child or as brothers and sisters, adopted children need extra attention, reassurance, and security due to their past experiences.
Read the stories from others who have adopted to help you understand more about the children waiting for you.
