Advocate for the 12 Waiting Children of December

December 12, 2016 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. Our hope is that by advocating for these 12 children and sibling groupsĀ our community can help them find permanent, loving families by this time next year.

Each day, starting December 12th, we will post a new child or sibling group that is in need of advocacy. Please help us spread the word about their needs and ask yourself if you or someone you know could make room for one (or two siblings) more.

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