Causes: International, International Relief
Mission: The organization assists families in the permanent adoption of foreign children who are desperately in need of parents and provides ongoing support to those families.
Programs: Working with foreign representatives to facilitate international adoptions, the organization has placed more than 9,000 children in loving homes throughout the united states. The organization provides adopting families thorough training about the international adoption process as well as the issues surrounding the children's emotional needs. The organization fulfills the role of the expert on behalf of the families throughout the adoption process, smoothing the mountains of bureaucratic paperwork into easy to follow avenues through immigration and federal and foreign governments. Following the placement of a child, the organization actively assists in the adjustment by providing sensitive social workers who are available to the families indefinitely, support groups, cultural training sessions and quarterly newsletters.
