Great Adoption StoriesDownload
Families of all kinds are offering hope and a new life to these fragile children, helping to eliminate the orphan crisis one child at a time. The stories of The Orphan Foundation’s first three grant recipients are truly inspirational. A single mother struggling to start up a new business adopts a hard-to-place, “special needs” child from another country. A happy, healthy, and content family embraces a child with Down Syndrome, after his birth mother chose to give him up at 6 weeks of age. A New York family rescues three traumatized orphans from the ravages of Liberia’s second civil war.
Two of these stories were also highlighted on CNN Headline News – Local Edition aired in the Los Angeles area the week of 8/27/2007. The unedited version of this powerful taping is included below (captions added by The Orphan Foundation).

What starts as a gesture of love soon becomes an onslaught of paperwork. The forms, the home study, the waiting, and certainly the financial hurdles can be discouraging to a loving family wanting to open their arms to an orphaned child. The Orphan Foundation hopes to help you overcome some of those barriers by providing financial assistance and information for adopting families. Please browse the materials we’ve compiled to support you in your adoption journey.
Be sure to tell your friends about The Orphan Foundation, these resources, and our vision of finding permanent families and homes for all of the world’s 143 million orphans and the 20 million "displaced children."
