Courtney, born in May '94

Courtney is outgoing, creative, and enjoys reading and writing poetry. She is a self-proclaimed "Tom Boy."

When asked about what type of family she would like to adopt her, she first answered "any family, really." But then she thought for a minute and said she would like a family who is nice and outgoing, with a mom and a dad and maybe some younger brothers or sisters.

Courtney has been waiting for a family for several years. She is working on dealing with her past and is in need of an adoptive family to provide a stable healthy environment that all children deserve. The Waiting Child Fund is working to raise an adoption fund of $10,000 for Courtney.

100% of contributions made to Courtney's fund will be used to help find her an adoptive family.

 

Adopting a school-age special needs child is a lengthy process that requires hundreds of hours of work by the adoption agency. The funds raised by the Waiting Child Fund will be used to:

  • Recruit adoptive families
  • Provide the family with 25 to 30 hours of specialized training
  • Conduct the 3 to 6 month homestudy process
  • Facilitate the matching process
  • Supervise the placement of the child into the family's home
  • Provide ongoing support during the 6 month's before legalization
  • Facilitate the legalization
  • Provide post-placement services to the family and child
