It is with a sad heart to relay that Adoption Advocates International closed its doors due to financial strife. Adoption Advocates International operated over 30 years and placed over 4,500 vulnerable children in safe adoptive homes.
I am overjoyed and honored to partner with AHOPE for Children. I visited this orphanage weekly during my volunteer experience. babyAFRICA's ® proceeds will benefit AHOPE. A special place where dedication and love is used to support children who are infected with HIV; children who need love, care, nurturing and hope; children who melt your heart with their smiles. In addition to fund raising for AHOPE, primary beneficiaries will be the infants and children who will develop at a more appropriate physical rate for their age and, more importantly, develop with better emotional health that will allow them to function more effectively and adapt more easily both as wards of the orphanage but as they are placed with their new families in their country and elsewhere. The orphanages will benefit from a physically and emotionally healthier orphan population as this will make it easier for the orphanages to successfully place their children and reduce the number of failed and less-than-successful adoptions. Local employment will be positively impacted as otherwise unemployed women would achieve training and gainful employment as house mothers in these orphanages. Finally, the adoptive families would benefit by bringing children into their homes who possess fewer developmental challenges making integration of the child into a new home and even society an easier, more rewarding process.
