Adoptions

Why Consider Adoption?

As you consider adoption, keep in mind:

• Both single and married people can be considered as adoptive parents.
• You do not have to own a home.
• People of different ages consider adoption for a variety of reasons.
• Income requirements are flexible, and many types of financial assistance are potentially available.
• Free post-adoptive and support services are offered through Wake County Human Services.

Who are the Children in Need?

Children available for adoption through our agency are in the foster care system and are unable to return home. We are working hard to help them find a permanent family willing to commit their love and so much more. Our children are typically school age and often part of a sibling group. We have a particular need for families willing to consider adopting older children.

The Adoption Resource Team works to bring people and resources together in order to facilitate adoptions for Wake County Human Services.
