New CAN Waiting Children!
Our matching specialists recently added several new children to our CAN Waiting Child photo listing! Each of these children and sibling groups from Bulgaria, Haiti, and Burundi are hoping to find their Forever Families. Due to privacy policies for some of these programs, we are unable to post photos of the children here. If you’re interested in seeing their photos, viewing their files, or learning more about them, contact our CAN matching specialists today!

These three brothers have been nicknamed the “G Triplets” because all of their names start with the letter G. That’s not where their similarities end, however, as these three healthy brothers are about as close as can be. All 12 years old, the G Triplets told our representatives that their favorite colors are blue and yellow. They also stated that they’re all best friends, and they hope that one day they’ll all be teachers or pastors!
Alena is an adorable 3 year old who is in need of a loving Forever Family. Her caretakers describe her as an easy-going, sociable, curious, and tidy girl who is always interested in learning new things. While Alena is a part of our Bulgaria Waiting Child adoption program, she her needs are relatively minor and have for the most part corrected themselves. While she was diagnosed with infantile cerebral palsy, she is able to walk, run, and squat independently. She was also diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity, but wears glasses and is able to see. Alena is currently taking no medications, has no further need for physical therapy, and has well developed gross and fine motor skills. While her speech is somewhat delayed, all other aspects of her development are nearly on target compared to other children her age. Her caretakers say that she has been making consistent progress over time, and has excellent potential. If you’re interested in learning more about Alena, contact our matching specialists today to view her file!

Read MoreFamily Adopting Siblings From Bulgaraia
One of the amazing families in our Bulgaria adoption program has begun submitting their paperwork to adopt a sibling group of THREE!
When they first met, Kam and Travis would have never imagined that they would be adopting a sibling group of three, however, over the years they began to feel that God had a sense of humor when it came to answering their prayers. While adoption had always held a place in Kam’s heart, Travis took a little bit longer to come around to the idea of it. In 2010 when a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, Travis saw the need of children around the world and began to feel that his heart was opening to the idea of adopting.
When the time came for Kam and Travis to select a program to adopt through, they decided to sign up for our Bulgaria Waiting Child program, as Kam had traveled there previously on a mission trip. While she was there, she was surprised by the impact that the older orphans had on her, as they were fully aware of their situation and of the loss in their lives. Adopting an older sibling group just made sense to both of them.There is such a need when it comes to taking care of the orphan but there is an even greater need for sibling groups. The larger the group or older they are, the smaller their chances are of ever having a forever family. The odds go down even more if there are boys in the group. Since Kam and Travis already have 3 boys in their family they felt that adopting a sibling group with two boys and one girl would just add to the fun!
Kam and Travis are both very excited to begin their journey towards bringing their kiddos home from Bulgaria so that they can add to their three ring circus!
“Adopting into our family won’t make a very big dent in the 175 million+ orphan crisis, we realize, but it will make a difference to the ones we bring home.”
