Read More   THE CHILDREN IN NEED There are thousands of adoptable children in California. Los Angeles County and surrounding areas have children of all ages and ethnicities; however, most are of Latino and African American descent. Not all families are open to parenting or providing permanence to minority children, and particularly African American children as they are less likely to be adopted than any other ethnicity. As a result, there is a need for African American families and all families open to parenting African American children.   Read More HOW YOU CAN HELP You can help these children by providing them what they need most; a sense of belonging and a chance to be part of a family. All ethnic, social and religious backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Married, single, renter or homeowner, give a child a chance. Whether you elect to foster or adopt, you will receive financial assistance, medical insurance, training and resources to meet each child's needs. If you are not able to parent, please donate or refer a family member or friend.  Read More
