Waiting for a family is the longest wait of all.
Adopt America Network’s dedicated work to place children in caring, permanent families, depends on finding people as special as the children we want to place.
We’d like to introduce you to a few of the families registered with AAN. Each has a current home study and wants to adopt. Please contact Jennifer Vickers at jennifer.v@adoptamericanetwork.org or Jeanette Lathon at jeanette.l@adoptamericanetwork.org to find out about families like these, or if you wish to receive more information on the process to become a family for children in care. Be sure to check back, as our listings are updated frequently.
