A young couple or a single adult may initially think of adopting a baby, but in all reality, there are many children of all ages within our state waiting to be adopted.  Here are just a few, and information available about many more.

Maine needs more adoptive parents, and those willing to take care of children waiting who are waiting to be adopted by providing a Foster home.  Further information can be obtained at the State Of Maine Office Of Child And Family Services website.

Here's a few of the smiling faces of Maine kids that we found at AdoptUSKids! For more information about these children, use the Case ID# provided at the AdoptUSKids site.  If you're really interested, then make an inquiry by creating an account HERE.
