Adoption in Montana
Who Are the Children?
Children who are available for adoption through the Child and Family Services Division of the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services have been removed from their own families because of abuse, neglect or other family problems that make it unsafe for them to remain at home. The rights of their parents have been terminated making the children available for adoption. For more information on Montana's Waiting Children Photo Listings go to:
