"Adoption is for anyone who willing to commit to a child or teen – forever. Empty nesters, couples who found each other later in life, and single adults all been capable of providing safe, loving homes. Plus, there's [sic] many resources to help, including post-adoption support groups, which help parents navigate the growth of a new family. ...

"There are many benefits of adopting a teen in foster care. You don’t have to worry about diapers or potty training. ... A teen also offers companionship and an opportunity to be a role model – to show them how to care for themselves, build relationships with others, decide between right and wrong, and ensure they are on the path to a meaningful, happy life. Earning a teen’s love requires a bit more effort, so it’s even more rewarding when you finally hear those three little words." 🤗 Administration for Children and Families - ACF
