In every
city and town, up and down every street are couples and
singles, living in agonizing disappointment of not being
able to have children. In many cases they have exhausted
their funds and hopes for the bright dreams they had.
At the same
time, in tens of thousands of locations, infants and
children who have no parents are sheltered together from the
cold in homes of social welfare. But not sheltered from the
longing to have someone hold them, love them and be a mother
/ father to them. Their hurt is intense - and it never goes
away.
Until one day
someone arrives at the door with outstretched arms and large
caring hearts. The same someone who had agonized in their
own personal disappointments earlier. At this glad moment,
heaven seems to have come down to touch earth. And it
doesn't end that day! A forever family is formed and on the
previously hopeless ground, God has breathed the breath of
life and families join together in celebration
Tens of thousands of children and their adoptive parents
can and do attest to this glorious reality. They
want to tell others. They want to put these
paragraphs in your hands and say, Why
don't you consider international adoption? We did and are glad beyond any words
to describe it"
Children's Hope
International adoption agency is just that - hope for children -
through those that hope for them. These words find their
way into your eyes - and perhaps your heart - because of
their intense desire to see it happen for others.
"Could I really
love an adopted child as much as a child born to me?", you
say? Adoptive parents who are also biological parents, urge
me to tell you they can't tell the difference! A husband
can love his wife deeply and intensely even though they are
not biologically related! Senator John McCain says, "I
have four children. Two are biological and two are adopted,
but I can't remember which."
"Can I love a
child of another as much as one of my own race?", others may
say. Perhaps you would like to ask that question of
hundreds of parents who have adopted children from Asia,
Eastern Europe and Latin America. We have their addresses,
telephone numbers and e-mail - and they are eager to talk to
you. Really! You will be surprised - and in awesome
admiration. Their love may be greater - but certainly no
less. Every year
International
adoption also includes thousands of children of same
race.
You may say, "I
have heard of adopted children who don't bond with their
parents". So have I. But I've known only a few cases
personally and I see hundreds adopted every year!
Biological children also may not attach in every case
either.
"What about
health problems?" you may question. And why don't you - why
don't you just contact any of the hundreds we have made
available to you to ask - by e-mail or phone. I think you
will be surprised by the shining positive answers.
Are you afraid
that some legal problem would develop to deprive you of the
child you adopt internationally. To my knowledge it just
has never happened. This becomes, instead one of the
reasons that many decide to adopt internationally.
"Why not a
domestic adoption?", you may inquire. We are 100% for
domestic adoptions and we support the hundreds of good
public and private agencies that are already doing that work
so well. But not so many are advocating for those children
lonely and waiting faraway. For them we are saying, Will you consider International
adoption?
