The Waiting Child Video

Made with Love by Adoptive Families

May 01,2012 / Martha Osborne

Untitled Document

Every child featured in this video was once a "Waiting Child"

This video was made with Love. Only a fraction of the over 400 photos submitted could be used. Families from across the USA rallied to get the message out that "Special Needs" is just a label. Children are waiting, right now, for families.

Visit our Waiting Child section, learn more about which countries have adoption programs with the USA, or request more information from one of the 70 adoption agencies that we partner with in our advocacy. For most families, an adoption can be completed in 1-2 years. Why not start today?

A special thank you to the families who contributed photos, videos, notes, adoption stories and encouragement. We love you as much as you love us!

We would also like to thank our incredibly talented Media Producer, Ethan Anderson of RealEthan.com who donated his time, talent, and know-how to this project. And to Brian Donadieu, Engineer by day, Voice Talent & Boy Scout leader on weekends.

We have applied to adopt 3 waiting children from Bulgaria. Two of them are listed on your site. We can't wait to become parents to children 3 more beautiful girls, and adding them to our family of 6 children. We are older parents, 57 and 72 years young.
