It takes a truly special family to open their hearts and their home to one of the more than 7,000 abused, abandoned, and neglected children in Arizona who, each year, face an unknown fate. Arizona’s Children Association can help you bring one of these children into your life through the foster care, older child adoption and infant adoption programs*.

Foster Care
Four types of foster care programs exist at Arizona’s Children. Each is designed to match children with families specially trained to work with children at various levels of distress. Visit the Foster Care Page for more details.

Adoption Options
Arizona’s Children Association offers older child adoption programs in the Western, Southern and Central Regions, and Older Child and Infant Adoption Programs in the Southern Region. In these parts of the state, children available for adoption can range in age from infant to 18 years.

Regardless of geography or age, however, each Arizona child waiting for an adoptive family has the need and the right to be part of a loving and supportive family. To learn more about Adoption Options with Arizona’s Children Association, click here.

Special Adoption Programs
In addition to infant and older child adoption programs, Arizona’s Children Association also offers educational training and resource assistance to health care providers and adoptive families. The Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program (IAATP) and the KARE Family Center are two such programs.

*Infant adoption only available in the Southern Region.
