Who is eligible?

Family Membership: Families must be licensed to adopt from foster care in the United States and have a current homestudy. If you meet this criteria, please register to become a member family.

New to adoption: If you are new to adoption and do not have a homestudy you are not yet eligible to register. You may request to be contacted by a family advocate in your state who can answer your questions about foster care and/or adoption and suggest orientation classes and agency contacts in your area. Visit the Resource Center to learn more about adoption.

Agency membership: Public or private foster adoption professionals can register homestudied families and/or waiting children and search for matches from thousands of other child and family profiles. Register your organization -- professionals can be added to the organization membership at any time.
