International Adoption Program: SOUTH AFRICA

According to Rainbow Kids, two American adoption agencies Bethany Christian Services and Spence Chapin have announced pilot international adoption programs in South Africa. Both agencies have experience with special needs adoptions. I don’t have specific information about waiting children, but one can only assume that there may be South African orphans with HIV in need of adoptive families.

South Africa signed an international convention on inter-country adoptions

Adoptive Family Needed for Baby Girl Born June 2011

Image

This little girl was born June 2011 to an HIV+ birthmother. The children in her region are monitored for 18 months before a diagnosis is given to the child, so we are unsure at this time if Paloma is positive or not. If she is not, she will most likely be adopted by a citizen of her country or by a foreign family who has been on the waiting list for a healthy child referral. If she ends up being + she will go on RR. She does not have any siblings. She was born early, but has not had any problems associated with premature birth. Her nannies say that she is a calm girl. Baby photo also available. Multiple unrelated children can be adopted simultaneously from her region and there are some adorable little boys waiting. Married couples and Single Mothers can adopt. No more than 6 children in the home. Applicants should be no more than 45 years older than the child. Three trips are required. Total program fees about $35K.
