AROPTING CHILDREN

Special

MANY PEOPLE are unaware of
the comprehensive adoption ser-
vices available to eligible families
willing to adopt special needs
children.

Almost a year after its inception
the Special Needs Adoption
Demonstration Project (SNADP)
has announced that 22 children are
currently receiving counselling by
adoption workers. Some of these
children are ready for placement in
permanent homes.

“tn spite of the problems and
fragile beginnings, such as emo-
tional and developmental dif-
ficulties or histories of neglect or
abuse, these children have already
proven to be tenacious survivors,’’
explains Judy Archer, coordinator
of the SNADP. The project deals
with youngsters over two years of
age who ha.. emotional, physical
or mental haudicaps, as well as
with sibling groups, children with
histories of abuse, neglect or
multiple placements, and infants
with moderate to severe medical
problems.

SNADP is planning ‘‘a massive
recruitment campaign to enlarge
our bank of special needs adoptive
homes,” says Archer. Approx-
imately 17 families have already
been involved in the home studies
with project staff, which take place
after the potential adoptive family
has gone through an orientation
program.

Archer is extremely pleased with
the progress of SNADP to date,
considering it only started in
November of 1987, That was when

the Lower Mainland.

The purpose of the project is to
increase the number of successful
adoptions of special needs
children. In Archer’s words: ‘‘All
children regardless of age, handi-
cap, race, and life experience
deserve to be loved and cared for
in a stable, nurturing family unit.”
