Kids: If you want to adopt a child from the United States, WACAP
can help. We work with private and public agencies throughout the country to
find families for legally available children age 8 and older who are
in the foster care system. If you live
in Oregon or Washington, you're also eligible to adopt a child as young as 3.
To do that, you'll need to become licensed as foster parents. This enables
WACAP to match you with a child who has a court-ordered adoption plan. You can
then serve as that child’s foster parents while you wait for the child to
become legally free for adoption.
Families in the Puget Sound area may also consider WACAP's
foster-adopt program. Foster-Adopt families become licensed as foster parents,
and commit to providing loving foster care as long as it is needed. They
also commit to adopting the child when (and if) the child becomes legally free
for adoption. Please contact our US Kids department for more information on
this program.
