For instance, even though Eastern European children are considered Caucasian, their skin tones and ethnic origins can vary. In Russia, children are primarily of Russian origin and tend to have light complexions. It is important that adoptive parents determine for themselves which country has a child that best fits their family. It is also important to remember that although children differ from country to country on the outside, remember God knows each one by name. We believe a family should always remember God sees each little one as His child.
All children cry crystal clear tears and their hearts long for a family to love.
Please stay open to the child God has for your family. It is very helpful to talk with families that are home with their children from the countries in which you are interested. They can share first hand experiences as to how they felt about the adoption process, travel, and their child's adjustments when they arrived home. We feel it is important to link adoptive parents together to share thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Please feel free to call the office at any time as you are weighing the differences in each International Program.
