International Adoption Facts and Information

Are you struggling with infertility?

I've been there.

Yearning to be a parent, and wondering if you will ever have a child?

I know how that feels.



Do you have children now, but want more or feel called to adopt an orphan?

I've been there as well.

When starting on the journey to adopt a child from another country, there are all sorts of issues and questions you will be facing. Such as:

• How much will it cost?
• What country will I choose?
• Where will I begin?
• How will I ever get through all this paperwork?
• What will my family and friends think?
• Will I be able to love this child?
• Will this child be able to love me?
• What if this child is of another race?

It is my hope and prayer that International Adoption Facts and Information will help answer these questions and more.

So please, read on, and may your adoption journey be filled with few frustrations, much hope, and the fulfillment of a beautiful child of your very own.

Orphans Deserve Better

Orphans Deserve Better is a grassroots initiative to counter the movie Orphan.

Join us in taking the side of those who cannot speak for themselves.

However far-fetched some stories are, they can still subtly shape our values and perceptions. So when a major motion picture leaves a lingering impression that orphans are damaged goods and that adoption can tear apart your life, those who know the deeper truth must speak up.

People deserve to know better. They must be told of the great needs orphans face. They should also see the joy found in loving them...and practical steps we can take to do so.

Learn what you can do by visiting Orphans Deserve Better.
