In over 15 states, more than 10,000 children are living in foster care, trying to hold onto the hope a loving family will adopt them. In 2018, Florida had over 20,000 children in foster care, Texas had more than 30,000, and California had a staggering number of over 50,000 children waiting to be adopted from the foster care system. All across the United States, foster children need loving, stable forever families! If you have been researching options to adopt foster children in Arizona or around the country, you could be the answer to a foster child’s prayer.
Adopt Foster Children in Arizona or Around the Country with Building Arizona Families
Building Arizona Families is a nonprofit, licensed Arizona adoption agency. We serve Arizona families that want to adopt foster children in Arizona or in any state in the U.S. Foster children are in desperate need of loving homes, now more than ever. Shortages of foster homes and a reduction in the number of foster homes are causing foster children to live in emergency shelters, a place no child should ever have to live. Today, there are approximately 14,000 Arizona children in foster care. At any given time, approx. 1/3 of those children have had their parental rights severed and are available for immediate adoption. They urgently need loving families to welcome them home and give them a fresh start to life.
You can change the future of a U.S. foster child. If you want to open your heart and home to a U.S. foster child, our Forever Families U.S. Adoption Program is the right program for you. Adoptive families that meet adoption criteria can be approved for adoption through a home study. Once a home study is conducted and the family is approved, families can directly adopt foster children in Arizona and from around the U.S. There is no need for an adoptive family to be foster certified – children are adopted through direct adoption placement.
Feeling Support On Your Adoption Journey with Building Arizona Families
Your Building Arizona Families team will walk you through the process to adopt foster children in Arizona or around the country. Once you are matched with a foster child, the child lives in your home for approximately six months. After this time, if it is a good match for your family, you can move forward to legally adopt the child, changing their life from dark and lonely to beautiful and loved.
