Information
Many children are in the custody of the Colorado foster care system and are eligible and waiting for a permanent home

The children who wait are the survivors of abuse and neglect. They are school-aged children, brothers and sisters, children of color and those with disabilities. These children live in a series of foster and group homes. There they wait. They hope for the stability and love of an adoptive family.
