Our website features youth that vary greatly in terms of background, age, gender, and needs, but all share one thing in common; they are in the custody of the state of West Virginia and are waiting on an adoptive family.

If you are interested in learning more about these youth and the adoption process, please register here so that you may view our website. 

If you are currently a licensed Foster/Adoptive parent, you will be able to make inquiries about specific youth after registering. To inquire about youth, you are interested in learning more about, choose the “request additional information” option on the youth’s listing. 

If you are not currently a licensed Foster/Adoptive parent, let Mission WV help you get connected with a Child Placing Agency to be licensed. Please click here to get started or call 304-562-0723 for information and assistance. 

If you are not currently a WV resident but wish to be licensed, please contact AdoptUSKids at 1-800-200-4005 and they will assist you in getting licensed in your state of residence.

If you are a professional needing access to the Waiting Youth, you may complete this abbreviated registration. This option is for Professionals only.
