When children are unable to be safely reunited with their families and are placed in the permanent custody of the Agency by Juvenile Court, they become available for adoption. Many of these children are older, have siblings, or special needs. The Purchased Care Facilitator works to locate families and match them with children who need a permanent home. Adoptive parents may qualify for financial assistance to help them support their adoptive children. All the children available for adoption are currently in some form of foster care setting. This means the parental rights of the child's parents have been terminated, making the child legally free for adoption.
