"I love it; they're the best dads you could ever have
- says Jesse about being adopted
We believe that every child is adoptable & deserves a loving permanent family.

Children Awaiting Parents works on behalf of these children, typically teenagers, and sibling groups who wish to stay together and/or those children with special needs.
Since its founding in 1972, CAP has helped bring together more than 6,000 children and families.
