Waiting Child Adoption

Coordinators2inc is pleased that you are interested in learning more about children who are in foster care or treatment facilities waiting to be adopted. Drug and alcohol problems, neglect and abuse have resulted in many children being unable to return to their birth families. Like all children, these children need loving and nurturing families. But, beyond that, they need parents who can help them heal from the traumas of their past and who can be patient while the healing takes place.

Coordinators2inc recruits families for individual children and sibling groups who have been waiting for a permanent family for a long time and/or children who have mild to serious emotional, educational and/or medical needs. The majority of children needing families are over the age of 9 and have challenges related to being separated from their birth families, from the abuse and neglect they have experienced and/or from the separations and losses they have experienced in foster care. Frequently the children have one or more siblings that need to be placed with them. Many of the children are males and are African American.


Services Offered

  • Recruitment, home study, placement and post-placement services to families interested in adopting children 9 and older and other specific children for whom agencies have requested us to find families and/or complete a home study.
  • In addition to the services provided to families, Coordinators2inc prepares children for adoption and recruits families for them.
  • With a life-long commitment to families and children, Coordinators2inc provides supportive services to families after adoption through our Adoptive Family Support Program.

 


What's Unique About
Our Waiting Child Program

Coordinators2inc was founded in 1988 by two women who were frustrated with a cumbersome system that failed to prepare children adequately for adoption and in which children lingered for years waiting to be adopted. Since that time, more than 150 older waiting children with special needs have found permanent families through the efforts of Coordinators2inc.

Coordinators2inc believes that children are adoptable; and children grow best in permanent families who can nurture, protect, advocate and remain committed to them - no matter what!

Our Program Director, co-founder of the agency, knows the reality of adoptive children of all ages, as she herself is a parent to 11 children, only one of whom is her birth child.

Coordinators2inc understands that the needs of these children are complex. We take time to educate prospective parents about the children and to prepare them to meet their needs.

We go out of our way to make sure families have complete and factual information about children.

Coordinators2inc is your lifetime partner in your adoption journey, offering support, consultation, assessment and treatment services, when needed, anytime after adoption.
