Children are in need of adoption because some birth parents are unable to provide enough for the needs of their chilD．There are a lot of reasons for making an adoption plan Birth parents may feel they cannot take on responsibility of an unplanned child because they are too young or because they are financially or emotionally unable to provide proper care．They don't feel ready to be good parents．

In other cases children are in need of adoption because courts have decided that their birth parents are unable to function adequately．Many of these children are victims of abuse．Regardless of how children come to need adoption,they are put with adoptive parents through private or public social service agencies．Other adoptions may be arranged independently,as when birth parents and adoptive parents come to know each other outside of an agency and then complete the adoption according to the laws and regulations of their states of residence．

In every state,however,there are children who are legally free to be adopted but are desperately waiting for parents．The children in this group are usually older and often have special needs．They may require additional care from a parent because of their physical,emotional,or mental disabilities．Because of their special needs,these children are challenging to bring up．In fact,adoption experts believe that people who adopt these children need special training and preparation in order to successfully bring up the child and to integrate(使融入)the child into the family and eventually into society．
