Who are the Youth Villages children waiting for adoption?
Youth Villages’ children are like other children in our neighborhoods, our schools and our communities. They have the same basic need for love, guidance and structure. They all need families that they can call their own. These children are of all ages. They may have emotional, physical, or learning disabilities or developmental delays. There are brothers and sisters who need to stay together when placed for adoption. Many are victims of abuse, neglect or were abandoned. Forty-five percent of the children available for adoption are African American; 33% are Caucasian and the remainder is mixed race, Hispanic or other.
