Older Child Adoption
Children growing up in orphanages — whether government or private, do not get the care, attention, stimulation and guidance they need. Research proves that without those factors children’s brains and neurological systems do not develop normally. They develop learning disabilities, have growth delays and diminished intellectual capacities. Additionally, many struggle with the psychological trauma of losing their parents and the neglect or abuse that led to that horrible end.
Kidsave's focus is on older child adoption and through a unique program of family visits we help older forgotten orphans meet prospective parents, and at the same time help remove the stigmata and prejudice many cultures carry toward older orphans.
