Photographs of waiting children in newspapers with descriptions of the child encourage interested prospective parents to write or call state or agency social workers.
Waitingchild recruitment programs are very effective tools to identify families for older children and other children with special needs.
In addition, although families who contact the social worker may not be suitable for the particular Wednesday's Child of the week, they could be a very good family for another child needing a home.
A "waitingchild" is defined as a child who doesn't have a permanent family yet, but who is legally free for adoption and whose adoption papers are ready.
A child may become a waitingchild due to various factors including medical special needs, developmental and/or emotional delays, being an older child or part of a sibling group.
Waiting children may be older, be a member of a sibling group, or have special needs.
