special needs adoption

Almost all children eligible for international adoption today have at least some degree of special needs. In adoption, the term “special needs” doesn’t always refer to a physical disability. Special needs can range from simply being older than the age of 5 to minor developmental delays to conditions requiring lifelong care.

Read first-person stories written by parents who have adopted children with special needs, resources for parents of children with special needs written by adoption professionals and meet some of the children who are waiting for families today.
