No. 15; Updated October 2015. Approximately 120,000 children are adopted each year in the United States. Children with physical, developmental, or emotional handicaps who were once considered difficult to place with a new family are now being adopted (special needs adoptions). Adoption helps many of these children to grow up in permanent families rather than in foster homes or institutions.
Considering an adoption that will make a lasting difference in a child's life. There are over 400,000 foster care children in the United States currently in the foster care system. Of these foster care children, more than 100,000 are waiting to be adopted into a forever family. Thatâs 100,000 foster care children who need the support, stability, and unconditional love a family can provide. We are excited that you are considering adopting one of these waiting children.
