Just Matched Monday!

Just Matched 2We are THRILLED to announce that a family has begun submitting their paperwork to bring this beautiful girl home forever!

As a younger kiddo with more minor needs, her file was considered LID, meaning her family had to have their dossier submitted before they could see her file. Since she was at one of the orphanages that GWCA is partnered with, we received her file as soon as it was prepared so that we could find her a Forever Family.

We are so happy for her and her new family, and we can’t wait to see them come home! If you are interested in learning how you can begin your journey towards being matched with an LID child, or learning how you can be matched with one of the Waiting Children that we’re advocating for, please contact our China Matching Specialists today!

New Kids on the Block!

Atlas Hi there! My name is Atlas and I just turned 4 years old. I was born with a heart that was a little different than some of my friends, but some nice doctors gave me a surgery and I feel much better now! I am currently crawling and walking with one hand held and I like to be very active. I am very happy when I get to play outside and swing on the wings. I am very observant of other people and I imitate their facial expressions and sounds they make. I like playing with building blocks and rummaging through the toy chest for new things to play with. I enjoy standing in front of the mirror and making funny faces or wearing clothes that are too big for me and laughing when they fall off.

GWCA Signs 12th Orphanage Partnership!

Great Wall China Adoption is pleased to announce that we have just signed our 12th Orphanage Partnership!

What is an Orphanage Partnership?iStock_000013201987XSmall

All around China there are countless children sitting in orphanages waiting to find their Forever Family. Typically, when a child’s file is prepared for international adoption, it is released to a shared list where agencies can request their file to help advocate for their adoption. While some of these children’s files will be requested right away, others sit on the shared list for longer periods of time with no one advocating on their behalf. However, when an orphanage creates a partnership with an adoption agency such as GWCA, they are able to send us files directly as soon as they have been prepared, rather than adding them to the shared list. This allows the us to begin advocating for each kiddo right away, giving our agency the opportunity to help connect more orphans with loving and permanent Forever Families.

Why do our Orphanage Partnerships matter to our families?

Since we are periodically receiving new children’s files from each of our 12 Orphanage Partnerships, there are constantly new smiling faces on our China Waiting Child Photo Listing! Since these kids’ files have never been on the shared list, we love giving our families the opportunity to be among the first to review their files with the hope that they can take the next step in their journey towards bringing them home forever!

As we see the number of orphanages partnering with GWCA continue to increase, families can expect to see more and more of their kiddos on our China Waiting Child Photo Listing! If your family is interested in adopting from China, we encourage you to reach out to our adoption specialists, or visit our photo listing to learn how you can begin your adoption journey today!
