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.

Adoption resources are available by visiting the Adoptinfo / REACH home page.  Learn more about adoption information available through REACH and other adoption resources .
