What starts as a gesture of love soon becomes an onslaught of paperwork. The forms, the home study, the waiting, and certainly the financial hurdles can be discouraging to a loving family wanting to open their arms to an orphaned child. The Orphan Foundation hopes to help you overcome some of those barriers by providing financial assistance and information for adopting families. Please browse the materials we’ve compiled to support you in your adoption journey.
Be sure to tell your friends about The Orphan Foundation, these resources, and our vision of finding permanent families and homes for all of the world’s 143 million orphans.
A Simple Guide to Adoption
Download
This 30-page guide to adoption is a resource for those beginning the adoption process. It will help you make the choice between international, domestic, and foster care adoptions, show you the timelines of each method, costs and budgets, and how to raise the funding needed to adopt. The guide also includes the stories of three of The Orphan Foundation’s grant recipients, who are a true inspiration to anyone hoping to adopt. Another excellent source for international adoptions - by country - can be found at this link: http://adoption.state.gov/country_information.php. In the middle of the page you will see an input box where you can select the country from which you wish to adopt. You will see answers to most of your questions, including ranges of costs.
Another great resource for getting started with adoption is from the Dave Thomas Foundation. It's called "Finding Forever Families - A Step-by-Step Guide to Adoption." You can get a free digital copy here: Download
Here is a great selection of books on adoption, family, values, and adjusting to the newly adopted child. If you place your cursor on top of any of the books, you'll see the ratings that readers have given. If you then click on that book, you'll be taken to Amazon, where you'll find many pricing options - including used books. Read the comments that the readers made before you make a purchase. They're very helpful. And don't forget to download our "Simple Guide to Adoption" above.

The Orphan Foundation Grant Application
Approximately 10 grants of $500/child will be awarded yearly. Our procedure is to review all incoming grants on a quarterly basis to determine eligibility. The base eligibility requirements are that you have successfully completed your home study and that the child you plan to adopt is still in an orphanage or in a foster care institution, as one of our primary missions is to help rescue the children that fall into this category. Note: we do not provide grants for birthmother adoptions or the adoption of step children. If you meet these requirements, then your grant request will be accepted for consideration with all of the other grant requests currently in the queue. We award the grants quarterly, and those awards are based upon our ability to fund. If you are not approved, your grant request will be removed from our queue, but you can resubmit for the next quarterly review. We also encourage you to look over the other sources of grants and loans that we provide on this page. And most importantly, thank you for helping us make a difference in the life of a child.

"Over the past two years, I have personally witnessed the loving care provided by Tim Baker and the entire team at the Langfang Children's Village. The Philip Hayden Foundation's four steps to providing hope "intervention, foster care, surgery and adoption" has provided hope to countless orphans in China. This new project, Shepherd's Field Children's Village, will be a "Field of Dreams" providing a home to special needs children. I hope everyone can support this project."Kenneth Yata

BoeingAdopt A Chinese Orphan
Why Adopt From China? China has a model adoption program which has been specifically praised by the U.S. Congress. In addition to having a large source of healthy infants, adoptions from China are often less expensive than from other countries, and the process is much more predictable and stable.

Can you Recommend an Adoption Agency? There are many excellent and qualified adoption agencies that we have worked with over the years. Please contact us at adoption@chinaorphans.org for more information.
How Long Does The Process Take? It is hard to predict with any certainty how much time is required to complete an adoption in China, but recently, adoptions were taking approximately 12 to 14 months from the time the U.S. adoption agency submitted the paperwork to CCAA.Read more on "Adoption Process"
