Meet 12 Children Who Wait This December

December 11, 2019 by Staff Contributor

There are many children in need this holiday season. During our 6th annual advocacy campaign, we hope to bring your attention to 12 children and sibling groups who wait to be adopted.

This advocacy campaign is fueled by the hope that each of these kids will find permanent, loving families. As we start each campaign, we like to celebrate the success stories—nearly half of the children we advocated for in the 2018 campaign have already joined or will be joining adoptive homes soon! But there are still children waiting—including 17-year-old Gabe, who is one year closer to aging out of care.

We will post a child or sibling group that is in need of advocacy on this blog each day. Please share these blogs with others and ask yourself if you or someone you know could make room for one more.

Please scroll down and click on the individual pictures to learn more about the children.
