GUIDING HARBOR'S ADOPTION PROGRAM IS COMMITTED TO FINDING PERMANENT HOMES FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE LEGALLY FREE FOR ADOPTION. THE FOCUS OF THE PROGRAM IS THE RECRUITMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADOPTIVE HOMES FOR CHILDREN IN THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM. CHILDREN ENTER THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF NEGLECT, AND/OR PHYSICAL, SEXUAL, OR EMOTIONAL ABUSE. THEY BEAR THE SCARS OF THEIR NEGLECT, ABUSE AND FREQUENT MOVES AND MAY ACT OUT THEIR PAIN AND FEELINGS OF LOSS. IT IS OUR PHILOSOPHY THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO EMOTIONAL NURTURANCE, UNDERSTANDING, EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE, AND NECESSARY CARE IN A STABLE, WHOLESOME FAMILY ENVIRONMENT. THEY NEED FAMILIES WHO CAN PROVIDE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND THAT PERMANENT HOME. CHILDREN SERVICED ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF BIRTH TO 18 YEARS OF AGE, WHO ARE PERMANENT STATE OR COURT WARDS. THE CHILDREN PLACED FOR ADOPTION ARE OFTEN: CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND SIBLING GROUPS OF TWO OR MORE CHILDREN. OUR ADOPTIVE PARENTS MAKE A COMMITMENT TO A CHILD IN NEED OF A PERMANENT FAMILY.
