Children available for adoption are in the custody of the WV Department of Health and Human Resources (WV DHHR). Some of these children have been abused, neglected or abandoned. The majority of these children are considered special needs. The WV DHHR website contains pictures and biographies of many children available for adoption.
For photographs and more information on children awaiting adoption visit the WV DHHR's website at www.adoptawvchild.org or the national photo listing at www.adoptuskids.org.
