The Benefits for Children and Families
For children …
To experience healthy development and create a sense of their own self-worth, children need to have roots and feel they belong to a family who truly cares about them. Adoption is a way of achieving this.
For couples and families …
The gift of adoption is not only a benefit to a child, but is a wonderful way for couples who are unable to have children of their own to create a family. It is also a very satisfying way for established families to grow and diversify.
