Giving Children a Voice in AdoptionOlder children and those in sibling groups are especially difficult to place in adoptive homes, and have traditionally had little say in their adoption processes. To support a program in six North Carolina counties that gives children an active role in selecting potential adoptive parents, The Duke Endowment committed $1.4 million from 2006-2010.
Through a dynamic approach to adoption, Devlin and his soon-to-be adoptive parents bonded over their shared love for video games and other interests.
