Of course, children with known special needs, minor correctable handicaps, and older children are always available and waiting for the loving embrace of a family who can help each child realize their full potential. In most Bal Jagat programs, children are cared for in government sponsored orphanages. They receive the basic necessities for life but their greatest need is to be given the opportunity to grow and thrive as part of a nurturing, loving family. Referral time varies by program, but most families arrive home with their new son or daughter within 12-14 months of beginning the adoption process.
