To recruit foster and adoptive families across the United States for children who have been waiting the longest for a family.

Children Awaiting Parents, Inc. (CAP) is a national, nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. For 38 years, we have been dedicated to finding adoptive homes for America's waiting children. Our waiting children are often older, minorities, sibling groups who wish to be placed together, or children with emotional, mental and/or physical disabilities - children who are typically categorized as "special needs" or "hardest to place".
