12 Children Who Wait for Families This December

December 23, 2017 by Staff Contributor

During the holiday season, when we all take time to be thankful for what we have and to think about how we can contribute to the causes that are important to us, we hope you’ll take a moment to help children waiting to be adopted.

There are many children in need this holiday season. During our 4th annual advocacy campaign, we hope to bring your attention to 12 children and sibling groups who wait to be adopted.  Our hope is that our community can help them all find permanent, loving families by this time next year.

There are a number of children whom we advocated for last December that are now matched with families—this includes children from Korea, China, India and Minnesota foster care—your advocacy helped these children find homes!

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 (or a few siblings) more.

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