Idaho Wednesday's Child

Idaho Wednesday's Child Idaho Wednesday's Child is a specialized adoption program committed to finding foster youth Forever Homes. Many children need forever homes.

The Idaho Child Welfare Research and Training Center administers the Idaho Wednesday's Child program for the Department of Health and Welfare. The Idaho Wednesday's Child Program is a child-specific adoption recruitment program for special needs children. Many of the children in the Idaho Wednesday’s Child Program are from environments marked by abuse, neglect, abandonment, or substance abuse and

are now in the foster care system. While these children have already faced difficult challenges in their young lives, they are ready for a permanent family who will give them a chance to learn, play, and grow in a nurturing environment. The Idaho Wednesday’s Child Program is ideal for those willing to provide a safe, loving environment for children who have suffered from abuse or neglect. Nearly any person or couple over the age of 25 that has a strong desire to provide a forever home to a child can apply to become an adoptive parent. Licensed foster parent(s) or households with a completed home study will be given preference in the program but don't let this discourage you from starting at the beginning.
