Waiting Families

Our waiting families come from all walks of life and want to adopt for many different reasons. What they have in common is a deep desire to share their love with a child. These are some of the waiting families who have completed the home study process at Spence-Chapin and are ready to adopt. If you want to learn more about one of these families, please call 1-800-321-5683 or e-mail amy.silverman@spence-chapin.org.
