Adoptive Parents - Domestic Adoption - Special Needs Adoption

The Cradle's Special Needs Adoption Program places infants with special medical concerns into loving adoptive families. Each situation is unique. In the past, The Cradle has placed infants with such conditions as Cleft Palate, Drug or Alcohol Exposure, Sickle Cell Anemia, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. We welcome families who are interested in adopting special needs children, and we work with you to find appropriate resources to care for your child as time goes on.

If you would like to learn more about adopting a special needs infant through The Cradle, please contact Marc Arneson, our Adoptive Parent Intake Coordinator at 847-475-5800.
