Special Needs Adoption
Children like plants thrive best when they are allowed to grow in warm, caring, nurturing environments - this is especially true of kids with special needs! The firm soil of a 'forever family' allows children an opportunity to take root and blossom to their greatest potential. For the special needs child, the consistency and support that comes from a loving home is especially important.
I work with children that face many challenging issues. The one issue no child should have to face is the struggle to have a permanent place to call home. Click on the links below to find out how to enrich your life and the life of a waiting child.
Who are Special Needs Kids?
The children are boys and girls whose biological parents and/or families are not able to care for them. These children are considered Special Needs because:
They may have physical, mental, emotional and/or learning delays or disabilities.They may be sibling groups of two or more who wish to remain together.
They may be older children (over the age of five).They may have experienced physical, sexual or emotional abuse.
They may have been drug, alcohol or HIV exposed prior to birth.They may be members of a minority group.
