We are celebrating Adoption Awareness Month
Did you know that Woodfords received a grant from The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption to implement Wendy's Wonderful Kids, an evidenced-based recruitment program with a focus on finding adoptive parents/families for kids and teens in foster care?
Our WWK recruiters, Crystal and Mindy, use proactive, child-focused recruitment programs targeted exclusively on moving Maine's longest-waiting children from foster care into adoptive families.
The children served by WWK are typically those who have been waiting the longest for an adoptive family and home. By the time they are referred to a WWK recruiter, nearly 90% are older than eight, 33% have had six or more placements, and 52% have been in foster care more than four years. Some have never had a plan of adoption and have simply been on a track to age out of foster care at age 18 or 21 without the security, support and love of a permanent family.
