When parents are considering adoption, the sad reality is that children over the age of 5 may be overlooked. Often these children have endured neglect, abuse and numerous placements in foster care homes - and it takes a special kind of love and nurturing to help them overcome their emotional, behavioral and educational challenges. If you have the understanding and patience to open your heart and home to an older child, Children's Aid and Family Services will work closely with you to ensure you get the support and help you need to ensure a successful adoption.

A phone call to Children's Aid and Family Services at either 201.226.0300 or 973.762.5887 is the beginning of a fulfilling new chapter in your life. Our Recruitment Specialist will personally help you with any questions you may have about our adoption services.
