Adoption Information
from REACH
Adoption is a decision
many rural families are considering. Some families
would like to adopt a child with special needs, but find
it difficult to identify the local resources necessary
to grow their families. Approximately 1,000 youth and
children throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and
Wisconsin are waiting for adoptive families. Encouraging
adoptions in rural communities means finding more
potential homes for these children.
Adoption initiatives
sponsored by The Rural Expansion of
Adoptive Communities and Homes (REACH) project help
children and youth with special needs currently living
in foster care find permanent homes in rural
communities. Its objectives include a particular
emphasis on outreach to Native American communities.
With the help of rural families and communities with
open hearts and open arms, the REACH project seeks to
increase rural adoptions in Minnesota, North Dakota and
Wisconsin by 50 percent over the next five years.
