Unfortunately, some cases do not end with reunification. If parental rights are terminated by the state of Arkansas, the case goal then
moves to permanency through adoption. Once exploring familial options, foster families are the next option to move forward with adoption. We walk alongside each family in preparation for adoption and continue to provide trauma-informed training and support
post-adoption. Connected Adoptions is a privately licensed infant adoption placement agency for residents living in Arkansas. We call our adoptive
families “waiting families.” Our vision is for waiting families, not waiting children meaning that the placement of children into their forever homes should best “t the needs of the child. “Waiting families” are required to complete trauma-informed training as well as additional adoption classes.
