Changes in Waiting Child Program

New Announcement about the Shared List:


Children on the list, longer than 2 months, will be known as "Special Focus Children". Families will have relaxed requirements, including 6 months to get a dossier submitted, to be matched with these "Special Focus Children".

Those who adopt a "Special Focus Child" will be permitted to adopt TWO children (both special focus or just one special focus) at the same time or as two separate adoptions. The adoptions just need to be within 12 months of one another.

Also, per agency requests, more children will be added to agency individual lists.

You are the most wonderful bearer of the most joyous news I have heard since the phone call for LL's TA arrival. Six months given, and two children allowed. Praise all the goodness in the souls of the people who are helping these children come home and to those of you who are always on the cusp of the news. Crying tears of hope that I'm crying as I type.
Hugs from the lake,
