Adoption exchanges are invaluable resources when local agencies cannot find adoptive homes for children. The term "exchange" in its broadest sense, involves networking, communicating and identifying the fullest range of resources available to place special needs children with permanent families. Special needs includes minority and older children, sibling groups, and those waiting children with physical, mental and/or emotional handicaps.
There is a great variety among exchanges throughout the United States. Some focus strictly on photo listing services; others are oriented to providing training and consultation to adoption professionals and parent groups in their state or area. Some exchanges have a broad funding base and are run by full-time staff; others are informal exchanges that hold monthly meetings of adoption workers from various agencies for the purpose of sharing children and families. In all cases, the commitment is the same: increasing the chances for the adoptive placement of waiting children, and having those placements occur as quickly as possible.
