What ages are the Waiting Children and what are their needs?
The Waiting Children can range in age from 7 months to 14 years. Their medical needs range from minor, correctible needs such as congenital heart defect, minor nerve damage, a hemangioma and other needs such as cleft lip and palate, albinism and missing digits. Some children have more challenging needs such as spina bifida and hearing and/or vision loss. Occasionally, children may be on a Waiting Children list due to their age. Older children are often times more difficult to place and they will be added to the Waiting Children list to help them find families.
