Last year, Contra Costa County found adoptive homes for over 103 children. This year, maybe we can help even more children find permanent homes.

We have an innovative program called Concurrent Planning. This means that we can place children with a potential adoptive home while we continue working with the birth family to help them overcome the issues that brought them to our attention.

This benefits the children as it reduces the number of placements they experience and the trauma inherent in moving multiple times. The benefit to potential adoptive families is that the children will have faced fewer traumatic moves.
