Who are the children that DCYF places for adoption?
Most of the children placed by DCYF have special needs and are between 6 and 10 years old: • All have experienced abuse and or neglect; • Most have special developmental, medical, educational and emotional needs as a result of their difficult life circumstances; • Some are part of a sibling group who need to be adopted together; and • Most have experienced significant losses in their lives and are grieving.
