How & Why
There are two ways to adopt children from foster care: the first is foster-to-adopt; the second is adopt a waiting child. Regardless of the path you take, adopting thru foster care is an attractive option for those seeking to grow their families:
- avoids the astronomical fees associated with private adoption
- free preparatory training to help you navigate the inevitable bumps along the way
- Medicaid support for each child, with other subsidies available on an as-needed basis
- comprehensive post-adoptive support
- free ongoing peer support
