Child and Family Services of Erie

Did you know it would take less than 1% of the American population to give every child waiting for adoption in the United States a home? When children cannot return to live safely with their own families, Child & Family Services’ Adoption program matches children with loving, committed families who will provide permanency to the child through adoption. Although many children who can’t be reunified with their families are adopted by their foster parents, many children in our community do not have a family to adopt them. Children waiting to be matched with their “forever” families are usually school aged and older and may be part of a sibling group that should be adopted together. Some may have behavioral, physical or learning challenges. What each and every one of these children have in common is their desire to be part of a family they can call their own.
