Our Waiting Families


Domestic Adoption Program

Families explore adoption for many reasons. Some couples have struggled with infertility and they have decided to build their families thorugh adoption. Many families come to Family Services with the desire to provide a permanent home for a child(ren) waiting to be adopted. By reaching out to a child who needs a home, adoptive families find their lives immeasurably enriched. There are also families who adopt a child known to them or the child of a relative, or the child of a pregnant woman who has already chosen them as adoptive parents for her child.

Many wonderful children across North Carolina need loving familes. We work with familes interested in infants that come into our agency's custody through our Pregnanacy Counseling Program. We also work with families intrested in North Carolina's waiting children - older children, sibling groups, children with special emotional and physical needs, who are in foster care across our state. To learn more about North Carolina's waiting children, go to www.dhhs.state.nc.us/dss/adopt/.
