Adopting from the US Foster-Care System

U.S. Foster-Adoption Program

In the United States Foster Care System, there are over 117,000 children eagerly waiting to be adopted into loving homes. These children cannot be reunited with their biological families and are in need of stable, nurturing environments. At A New Beginning, we recognize the profound impact that adoption can have on both the child and the adoptive family. By opening your heart and home to a child in need, you can make a lasting difference in their lives. Join us in providing hope and a brighter future for these waiting children.

Children available include:

• Children who have resided in foster homes for 1-4 years and are survivors of abuse and neglect

Training Requirements

Each adoptive family is required to attend a comprehensive three-day training session with A New Beginning to prepare them for successful child placement.

Topics covered in the training include attachment issues, trauma, transitioning and blending families, grief and loss, recognizing and managing neglect and abuse, effective parenting styles and techniques, as well as behavior identification and management strategies. Training sessions are offered 3-4 times per year to accommodate varying schedules and preferences.

Additionally, families will be assigned additional hours of independent training and encouraged to participate in support group activities.
