Yes.

I don't know if every state has a registry, but Ohio does. The Ohio Adoption Photo Listing...its also searchable by age, gender, ethnicity, sibling groups, etc.

You don't have to reside in Ohio to be eligible to adopt from this listing...I know that a family from Pennsylvania adopted a sibling group from this website last year.

The website lists children who are eligible to be adopted through the foster care system in Ohio. (Note - the name listed is generally not the child's real name, for security purposes. But all the details are real.) Here's the link:

http://www.odjfs.state.oh.us/oapl/query.asp


(And I agree with the others that there are more important things to consider than just a photograph. But, you asked a question for information, not my opinion.)

Regardless of if people like it or not there are websites.

www.adoptuskids.org is one. click on meet the kids on the top option bar. it will bring up a search form you can use to narrow your search. it will search all foster care in the US by state. you can see photos and bios.

adoptuskids.org
adoptex.org
adoption.com

delilah used to have something where she highlighted specific children for a time on her web page but I have not looked recently so do not know.

Many individual states have listings of children who are available for adoption.

You can see a photolisting of some of the children in the US foster care system at http://www.adoptuskids.org

Bear in mind that for privacy reasons these children may have special needs that aren't disclosed on the site, so you should contact the social worker about what adoption of the child would actually entail, rather than basing it on looks.

LOL Children aren't dogs.... you don't adopt someone based on what they look like... I really hope that's not why you want pictures.

There are several adoption websites like Wednesday' Child if you live in the DC area.

There are other photo listings of children who are in foster care and have special needs. The descriptions are not always accurate and you will learn more about the children when you talk with their social workers.

Yes, I have seen them in a Dr. office one time, all the kids were older and it told a little about them. I would of picked all of them if I could.

Mail order babies?

Do you order them via a toll free number, get free delivery and a 14 day money back guarantee?

No, I doubt it. Why would it matter what they looked like anyway? Go to an adoption clinic. Think about the older children that need homes too. They are often not easy to place and end up stuck in a foster home forever.
