Organizations that Support Adoptive Families
Journey to Me is an organization that is committed to strengthening families and to helping adopted children thrive. They provide quality post-adoption education and comprehensive resources in support of adoptive families. If you are an adoptive family we recommend taking some time to work your way through the audio library and the excellent articles on the site. http://www.journeytome.com/index.cfm
Parenting adopted children can be complex at times. The hurts that come from a past of neglect, broken attachments, or abuse can cause behaviors that can confuse even seasoned parents. The Beyond Consequences Institute offers events, trainings, books, and occasional free webinars that foster a loving parent and child relationship and build understanding. This is a highly recommended resource. http://www.beyondconsequences.com/
Another excellent resource for adoptive families is the Post Institute. The Post Institute offers great books, DVDs and articles and learning events for families to help heal the emotional wounds that exist in adoption.
Organizations that give Children a Chance
Angel Missions Haiti strives to arrange medical care for the children of Haiti who have life threatening conditions that cannot be treated in their home country. Children are given life-saving treatments and then returned to their families to lead healthy lives. Administration of Angel Missions Haiti is donated, so all funds go straight to helping the children. http://www.angelmissionshaiti.org/
Global Health Innovations is an incredible organization that helps mothers and children gain access to better prevention and treatment programs for many diseases that cause high mortality in resource-limited countries. Through education, prevention, testing and the facilitation of treatment they tackle problems like HIV/AIDS, Malaria and malnutrition that often leave children vulnerable and orphaned. This is an organization with great heart! http://www.globalhealthinnovations.org/
Other Great Websites for Adoptive Families
