Children
Just like children come in all sizes, they also differ in ethnicity, age, sex, and special needs. They are alike, however, in their need to feel loved and grow up as part of a permanent family.
Parenting any child can be a challenge. But Minnesota’s Waiting Children are more likely to have been abused or neglected; often they have been in multiple foster homes.
If creating a family with an adoptive child is something you’d like to consider, learn more about Anoka County’s Adoption Program.

Special Needs
Adoptive children with special needs are children who have, or are at risk of having, physical, mental, emotional or behavioral disabilities that make it difficult for them to be adopted. Sibling groups who need placement in an adoptive home together are also considered to have special needs.
