Who are the children needing adoptive homes?
Most of the children needing homes are school aged, 5 to 14 years old, who need family where they can do the rest of their growing up. Many are brothers and sisters needing a family where they can grow up together. CAF is a “Special Needs” Adoption Agency. The term “Special Needs” refers to: • children over the age of 5 years • children with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities • minority children • children who are siblings Seldom are there healthy infants or young children needing placement.
