ADOPTION
EXCHANGES: LOCATING FAMILIES FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN
The Division of
Child and Family Services belongs to The Adoption Exchange
that helps locate adoptive families for children with
special needs. The Adoption Exchange is headquartered in
Aurora, Colorado with branch offices in Las Vegas, Nevada;
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Salt Lake City, Utah; and St.
Louis, Missouri. The Las Vegas branch office hosts a lending
library that can be used free of charge by pre-adoptive and
post-adoptive parents to obtain information and resources.
The exchange
produces photo-listing booklets featuring children who need
permanent “forever” families. Families who have completed a
home study may also register with the exchange to help them
in their search for children they wish to adopt.
Nevada
registers children with special needs who do not have an
identified family. The exchange publishes the child’s
picture, a brief description of the child’s background and
the type of family that is being sought for the child. The
information is used to help locate other prospective
adoptive parents for a child.
“A Welcome
Home” is provided by Cox Communications and features special
needs children in Nevada who are available for adoption. For
more information on the adoption of special needs children,
contact the Special Needs Recruiter and Trainer in your
area.
