In order to protect the privacy of the children listed on this website, detailed information about children's histories, strengths and special needs is only available to parties with completed approved adoption homestudies. You need not have a completed homestudy to express interest however.
The majority of children who enter foster care are able to return to their birth families. More than half of children who are unable to return home and become available for adoption are adopted by their foster or foster-to-adopt families. For that reason, young children who are available for adoption are rarely listed on this website. Contact Carol Cockrill at 740-592-3061 if you are interested in learning more about fostering, fostering-to-adopt or adoption. Contact Andrea Glass at 740-592-3061 if you have a completed homestudy and would like to express interest in a particular child..
