Children Waiting For FamiliesChildren in CHASK's Private Adoption Referral Program
To potential adoptive parents: Families who are seeking a new home for a child that they cannot parent, are trusting that you will provide verification via a current home study, lots of references, including name of pastor, social worker, immediate family and the lawyer you will be using. You should be willing and able to provide references. We advise you to submit a CHASK adoption application. To families seeking to re-home a child: Although CHASK has many potential adoptive families viewing your child's situation, an internet user or adoption yahoo group may pick up your child's availability and pass it on to others who are not part of CHASK. CHASK does not have control over who contacts you via e-mail. Please be aware of people who are adoption scamming or "child-gathering". We suggest that you be sure they have a home study, make a personal home visit, ask for lots of references, including the name of their social worker, pastor and the lawyer they will be using to facilitate the adoption.
Chantel Lindsay Edwards D.O.B. 7/26/1997 Chantel came to our family almost 10 years ago as an emergency foster care placement, and after trying to place her with distant relatives she was returned to us and later we adopted her into our family. Chantel is kind at heart and very eager to please. She is happy and loves to joke around. She is artistic, loves to crochet and knit and has made clothes for herself and her dolls for years. She loves animals. Chantel has lots of energy and loves to participate in outdoor fun activities like roller blading, biking, basketball, soccer and swimming. She is full of energy and can be quite an athlete. Chantel will tell you she dislikes 'mean' people and probably has a dislike for the current school she is attending. Chantel can be very 'bossy' around younger children and so a family with older siblings would probably be better suited. Her biggest challenge to getting ahead sometimes, is her defiant nature and she is very determined to get her way. However with structure and clear expectations she does well. Chantel really seeks a lot of love and affection but has not really bonded with her adoptive mother. A strong but loving personality is someone she will need to guide her along the right path. We have decided to find a better situation for Chantel and are seeking an opportunity to re-home her with a Christian family experienced in raising children with disabilities. Chantel was born/diagnosed with FAE/FAS and has experienced problems in the traditional public school system. Unfortunately our family has separated within the last couple of years and despite our best efforts we can no longer support her and provide the extra attention and special parenting skills she needs. We hope that there is family out there with experience, compassion and mission to save Chantel and give her a chance to succeed. I know she has the determination to do so with the right guidance. We look forward to discussing how your family may be able to help us. Please contact adoptnow09@yahoo.com
