Have you and your partner considered adopting a child? This is an option open to families who are willing to accept children in need into their homes. Some children are unwanted or cannot return to their biological families. Adoption is not ideal for every family or every child, but when it’s right, it provides loving, permanent homes for children who would otherwise not get to have that. There are many things to consider before committing to an adoption. Here are a few examples of good reasons to adopt.
- You love kids
An honest love for children is one of the best reasons to consider adoption. If you simply love kids, whether or not you have any of your own, it only makes sense to provide a loving, permanent home for a child in need.
- You already have 2+ children of the same sex
If you and your partner already have kids, you may have all girls or all boys. Adoption is a great option for couples who want more kids, but also really want a child of a certain sex. Adoption can give you the opportunity to introduce the little girl you’ve always wanted into your boy-ruled household.
- You want an older child
Have you always dreamed of having children but can’t imagine going through the stressful experience of raising an infant? Some people simply don’t do babies, but that doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t make great parents for a older child who already sleeps through the night.

"THEY CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND ARE VERY THOROUGH"
My husband and I always tell people that talk to us about wanting to foster or adopt about our agency. We enjoy working with this agency because the staff not only care about the careful placement of a child but also about us as a family. Our agency is available and quick to respond to us whether we have an emergency or just a question. They care about the children and are very thorough to ensure the children and the foster family are getting what they need.

"WE ENJOY GIVING BACK"
Fostering is very positive experience not only for ourselves but also for the child’s well-being. We enjoy giving back. Providing a loving, nurturing home to a child gives the child an opportunity to have a normal childhood as possible.

"WE WOULD RECOMMEND FCCY"
Picking FCCY to work with has been the best thing my husband and I could have done. We have had only positive experiences with this agency. The case managers are so good and give you total support as a foster parent. We would recommend FCCY to others looking into foster care.
