About Us

Children Awaiting Parents, Inc. (CAP) is a national, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that, since 1972, has been dedicated to finding adoptive homes for America's longest-waiting children in foster care. CAP's mission is to recruit foster and adoptive families across the nation for children who have been waiting the longest in foster care for a family. Our waiting children are often older, minorities, sibling groups who wish to be placed together, and/or children with special needs.
