About the children waiting to be adopted… The majority of children available for adoption here are African American, over the age of five, or part of a sibling group. While we don't usually have infants and toddlers, they may come to us as part of sibling sets. But despite troubled lives, most of the children in our custody are much like any others. They laugh and play, and they have favorite toys, games and friends. They also have hopes and dreams for their futures - especially for permanent, loving and committed parents. You can help their dream come true! To meet our children, click on the photo listing buttons to the right. If you are interested in a specific child shown on our web site, please call (513) 632-6366 to provide us with your contact information and the name, address and phone number of your agency. We will also need the name of your assigned worker. NOTE: We must receive your homestudy directly from your home agency to be considered for a waiting child. We regret that we cannot accept homestudies directly from prospective parents. |
