There are many children in the state foster care system that are legally eligible for adoption and seeking a loving forever family. To see photos and read information about these children you can visit the West Virginia Adoption Resource Network by clicking here: Adopt a WV Child or by visiting the waiting children page of the FrameWorks website by clicking here: Waiting Kids.
Another way that we reach out to find potential adoptive parents is a column called Sunday's Child. Sunday's Child spotlights the photo and a brief description of a child who is waiting to be adopted.
There are several papers in WV that have agreed to publish Sunday's Child and we are most appreciative of their efforts to help us find loving families. To view the most recent Sunday's Child Column online, you can visit the link below. Not all of the papers who participate publish the column online, so check your local paper for the Sunday's Child column. If you don't see the column in your local paper and would like to help us get it published, give us a call at 866-CALL-MWV. Thanks!

Top 10 Reasons to Adopt a Teen!
There are many reasons to adopt a teen and there are several "Top Ten Reasons Why" lists floating around the Internet, but I found this one especially fun and up-to-date. I give complete credit for this list to the County of Fresno Dept. of Children and Family Services.
TOP TEN REASONS TO ADOPT A TEEN
1. NO DIAPERS TO CHANGE, NO BOTTLES, FORMULA OR BURP RAGS REQUIRED.
2. WE SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT.
3. WE WILL BE READY TO MOVE OUT SOONER...BUT WE WILL ALWAYS COME HOME TO VISIT.
4. YOU DON'T JUST GET A CHILD, YOU GET A FRIEND.
5. WE WILL KEEP YOU UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST FASHIONS AND TRENDS.
6. NO MORE CARPOOLS; WE CAN DRIVE YOU PLACES.
7. WE CAN PICK UP AFTER OURSELVES AND HELP AROUND THE HOUSE...WHEN WE WANT TO.
8. WE CAN LEARN FROM YOU AND WE CAN TEACH YOU TO BE MORE PATIENT, UNDERSTANDING, KIND AND EMPATHETIC.
9. WE CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO PROGRAM YOUR CELL PHONE AND IPOD, AND TEACH YOU HOW TO WORK YOUR COMPUTER.
10. WE WILL BE PART OF YOUR LIFE; SOMEONE TO SHARE OUR LIFE DREAMS; ACHIEVEMENTS AND HOLIDAYS WITH.
In WV there are many teens who are waiting for a forever family. If you would like to learn more information about adopting, please call FrameWorks at 866-CALL-MWV
