Children who need adoption

ACE are looking for adoptive families for children of all ages. Children over the age of 5 often are less likely to be adopted. However, there are several benefits to adopting older children as there is usually much more information known about their health, development, personality, likes and dislikes. They may also have a greater understanding of their life story and the decisions made which means that their adoption can be talked about openly.
