Meet a Social Girl: A child waiting this December

December 12, 2019 by Staff Contributor

A five year old girl waiting for adoption smiles in a bright green dress. This adorable 5-year-old girl is waiting in Latin America for a family.  You may recognize her from previous advocacy posts we’ve shared, but she continues to wait. Can you help her find a loving adoptive family?

Y enjoys roaming in the house or yard—you can find her smiling as she plays on a short slide, hugs her baby dolls, or grabs a bite of her snack as she walks about.

Y attends a local school for children with special needs and enjoys it—when she returns home, she will share her experience with her caregivers through gestures and sounds. She receives speech and physical therapy and has shown growth and development as a result.

She had the opportunity to take part in one of Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine events. You can see a clip of her proudly wearing a sparkly crown while kissing his cheek at the end of the foundation’s video. You can also see photos of Y with Tim Tebow on his Instagram page.

GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Applicants must be between the ages of 25 and 51 at the time of child referral. Additionally, there needs to be at least 14 years between the age of the younger parent and the child and no more than 45 years between the age of the older parent and the child being adopted. Applicants can have no serious physical or mental health concerns or criminal history. Heterosexual couples should be married a minimum of three years at the time of home study approval. Single women may adopt. Applicants must be able to travel to Latin America per the requirements of the process.

If you would like to learn more about Y, please contact [email protected] and reference 817-03. In addition to our $5,000 Child-Specific Grant (exp. 1/31/2020), a significant grant is also available through Reece’s Rainbow.  Families may qualify for additional grants through CH/LSS and Brittany’s Hope Foundation.
