The Detroit News. The status of special needs children available for adoption was mischaracterized in this story.
Most children have parents whose parental rights have been terminated.
This story has been corrected to say that the headquarters for the National Adoption Center is in Philadelphia. About to be adopted. Sue Tolin smiles and soaks in the madness. She warns one child she'll feed him jelly until he explodes. She and her husband have adopted eight special needs children over the years and are preparing to adopt their ninth.
