For children in the child protection system who are waiting to be adopted and the families who are interested in adopting them.
Hennepin County’s waiting children are under state guardianship because their birth parent’s rights have been legally terminated. Hennepin County’s waiting children have experienced abuse and/or neglect, trauma, and have some special needs because of these experiences. Their needs include physical, emotional, developmental, and mental health needs that often require extra support.
