Adopting A Baby
The babies in these photos have all happily found their new adoptive parents. However, everyday more of these precious infants and toddlers come into care. They deserve a loving family of their own. No one can dispute that with the popularity of photo listing “waiting children” on the Internet, many many children that would have otherwise had little or no hope of a future, now enjoy loving adoptive families! Most foreign officials, however, refuse to allow healthy babies to be shown on the Internet. They feel that by photo listing these little ones, some prospective parents might be tempted to “shop” for a child. Prospective adoptive parents desiring to adopt an infant or toddler should fill out an application with Angels’ Haven while specifying the age, sex, race and health description you are open to. You will then complete the documents required by the foreign country (the dossier) and once submitted, a child, matching your description, will be referred. Most Eastern European countries will supply a photo, medical/social and a video of the child. You will be given the opportunity to decide to take this child, or wait for another referral. Newborns coming from a foreign country are typically going to be at least 6 to 12 months old by the time they come home. It is very frustrating to us that there are so many babies who need families, but because they cannot be photo listed, they may wait. Nevertheless, it is a privilege for Americans to be able to adopt from these countries and we must abide by their desires. Please contact us at 661. 259.2943 or e-mail Sherry@angels-haven.com We will happily give you names and phone numbers of other families who have adopted, and are willing to share their experiences. This may also help you decide what country is best for your family. To enjoy photos of some of the little ones who have come home, check out the Completed Family Page. We can’t wait to see your family shown among them!  |
