Older Child Adoption

 

If you follow GWCA/CAN regularly you know that we are fierce advocates for older child adoption.

What we hear most from people are their concerns about attachment traumas and bonding issues with older children who are adopted.
Those concerns are valid, because a lot of attachment style is formed in the first few years of life, but that does not mean creating healthy attachments is impossible with older children, in fact, it can come quite naturally in a majority of families!
A person’s brain is not yet fully developed until age 25! That means there is plenty of time to form new neural pathways and make healthy attachment bonds with an older adopted child.
Throughout the upcoming months we will focusing on different ways families can bond and healthily attach with their adoptive child, especially older children.
For more information on adoption or the attachment process in adoption please contact info@childrenofallnations.com or give our counselors a call at 512-323-9595!

HIV in Haiti

Haiti is home to over 32,000 orphans, many of whom have the diagnosis of HIV. What many people do not realize is HIV is a very manageable, treatable illness when the child is provided with the correct medicine. While these children often get looked over for adoption, they are also getting looked over for the chance of having a life that is long, healthy, and positive.

Haitian children with HIV are often ready to be adopted very quickly. Haiti has many 0-3 year old children available with this diagnosis and they all need loving, supportive, and nurturing homes. For more information on Haiti adoption please contact us.
