 While there are many children in the state of Minnesota who don't have a place to call home, and they are hoping to find a home and people to love and nurture them. November was National Adoption Month, and North Home's Children and Family Services provides the opportunity for children to be placed in a home. About 100 kids up to the age of 18 are adopted in Minnesota. Financial assistance is available to potential parents. Any adoptions through the Minnesota Waiting Children list are free. There is no time frame for adoption because each case varies based on that child and specific needs. Could be the parents aren't able to take care of them. Maybe the child is at risk of hurting themselves or others. Just a whole array of different reasons that children end up in the foster care system. The MinAdopt website has a list of all the children waiting to be adopted. Anyone wanting to adopt a child must go through a home study, and that includes an inspection of the home interview and training. For more information on adoption, you can go to northhomesinc.org.
