Because no one is ever too old for family.

Permanency is a Process: Transitioning a Child into Your Home
You’ve completed your home study, aced that training, and been matched with a child! You can’t wait to shower your new family member with love, gifts, and attention. And since that child has been waiting for a family, they will readily embrace all your affection and voila! Instant family, right? Of course not. Although families are often eager to speed through transition periods, kids may have mixed emotions that they don’t know how to process. Embracing change can take time, which is why a transition plan is key.

And in case you don’t have an arsenal of resources yet, we put some together for you!
