From Mamie Amin at Eliada Homes: "We need tough and tender folks, just like you, who want to learn how to adopt foster children. Right now, in North Carolina, children over the age of nine are more likely to age out of the system than be adopted. There are children of all ages right here in our community who are waiting to be adopted. Please come learn the process and have all of your questions answered."

Eliada is a non-profit agency serving the children and families of Western North Carolina. Eliada’s mission is helping children succeed by providing an optimal learning environment that empowers children and their families.
