Meet a Little Boy Who Loves to Cuddle: A child waiting this December

December 20, 2019 by Staff Contributor

A toddler waiting in Asia for an adoptive family looks at the camera.This toddler’s favorite activity is to cuddle with his caregivers. When he’s not wrapped in someone’s arms, he likes to play with colorful toys and tries to reach for items in front of him. At one and a half, he’s rather quiet but he’s always ready to share a smile with those around him.

GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

All applicants must be at least 30 years old. For heterosexual married couples, there can be no more than 50 years’ difference between the youngest parent and the child. Single women are eligible and cannot have more than 45 years’ difference between themselves and the child. Applicants cannot have serious physical or behavioral health concerns. Eligibility requirements vary so please inquire to discuss individual circumstances and eligibility.

LEARN MORE ABOUT Him

If you would like to learn more about this little boy, please contact [email protected] and reference 219-10. We can share medical information and videos with eligible families who inquire. His adoptive family will be eligible for a $5,000 Child-Specific Grant (exp. 1/31/2020).  Families may also qualify for additional grants through CH/LSS and Brittany’s Hope Foundation.

FINANCING ADOPTION

There are a number of resources available to families who would like to adopt but are concerned about financing. If you would like to learn more, we welcome you to inquire about the Adoption Support Fund and view our infographic of fundraising ideas.

Meet oTHER WAITING CHILDREN

During December we are advocating for 12 children who currently wait for families. We appreciate any time you take to get to know these children and consider whether your family, or a family you know, could be theirs.
