Children waiting for adoption
About the children waiting to be adopted
The majority of the children waiting for adoption are over the age of six. While we don’t usually have infants and toddlers, they may come to us as part of a sibling group.
All of our children have experienced some level of abuse, neglect or loss.
Despite all that has happened in their lives, most of the children in our permanent custody are just like any other children you know. They play, laugh and hang out with friends. Some are talented artists, musicians and athletes or may be gifted academically. Others struggle in school or may need specialized services to help them be successful. They all have hopes and dreams for the future. They all deserve permanent, loving and committed families.
If you are interested in a specific child shown on our web site, please call (330) 451-8789 to provide us with your contact information.
Note: We must receive your approved adoptive homestudy directly from your home agency to considered for a waiting child. We regret that we cannot accept homestudies directly from prospective parents.
Information regarding our children can also be found on the Adopt US Kids website at www.adoptuskids.org.
