Connect

Providing stability and connection for orphans through mentorship and family-style care, while efforts are made to help them remain in, reunite with, or regain a family through foster care or adoption.

Every child deserves a loving, stable, permanent family.
By coming alongside families who want to adopt or foster a child within their own country or strengthening a family that needs support, you can help provide a family for every orphan.

Did you know?

A large percentage of children in need of adoption are hard to place because they have special needs, are over age 4, and/or are part of sibling groups.

International adoptions are declining.* Only 4,059 orphans were adopted into the United States in 2018, the highest ranked country for international adoption. This is another great reason to help children find families within their own country!
*Intercountry adoptions to the top 24 receiving countries declined by 75% between 2004 and 2014
