Description

Meet Lilli!

Lilli is 13-years-old. She was adopted from a European country when she was ten. We call her “Lili” because we need to keep her name private.

We are looking for a single mom or a two-parent family who is home study ready (or has one that can be updated quickly). Lili should be either an only child or the youngest in the family.

The family has no preferences as to religion, location, employment or age.

If you fit what we are looking for, please write to us and request her full information. Please email us at kidteenadoptions@wiaa.org

The family has tried their best to meet Lili’s needs. They have come to feel that she would do better in a different family.

The family tells us that Lili has two other siblings that are also going to be placed in separate homes because of their trauma bonds which makes it difficult for the children because they continually trigger each other. She has not bonded to her current family and her parents feel she would do much better in a different home.

Lili likes girly things. She likes to help cook, color and read books. She enjoys riding her bike and going to the park. She loves music.

This is a private adoption, so a state or foster care home study might not work. A state authorized private domestic or international home study is generally required. You will need a current, updated or new home study for this adoption.

Due to state laws, we are unable to place this child in CT, MA, NY, FL, or DE. If you live in WI, there are a few steps that have to be followed, but it is possible to adopt from there. If you live in OR, you may need to travel to the child’s state to finalize the adoption.

If you haven’t started your home study, please contact us for information on how to begin one. However, if we have home study ready families for this child, we will consider them first. Therefore, if you are willing to take a child between the ages of 9 and 15, we suggest you begin the process as soon as possible.

We know that adopting a child over the age of 9 is going to be difficult, but we feel confident that there are parents of all types, single men and women, traditional couples and same-sex couples out there who love kids and would love to add them to their families.

Adoption is a legal process so there will be costs associated with them. There are grants out there to help fund your adoption (please request that information.) This adoption may qualify for the IRS Adoption Tax Credit.
