The Southeastern Exchange keeps a register of approved families interested in adopting children with special needs. As new children are referred to us, we send registered families information on any children who seem to fit the family's interests, usually three to four weeks before the children appear in our regional photolisting. If a family is interested in a child sent through the register, they simply let us know and we send a referral to the child's agency with a copy of to the family's agency for follow-up. The phone number of the child's caseworker is also given to the family for immediate inquiry as to the status of the child. To be included in our register, complete and return to SEEUS at the above address. (Note: Families may subscribe to the regional photo listing to personally review all children registered with SEEUS. Subscription to this book, SEE US is $50.00 per year).
