agencies and nongovernmental organizations to prevent 
child abandonment, address the needs of orphans, dis-
placed and abandoned children and provide permanent 
homes through family reunification, guardianship and do-
mestic adoptions: Provided, That funds made available 
under title III of this Act should be made available, as 
appropriate, consistent with— 
(1) the goal of enabling children to remain in 
the care of their family of origin, but when not pos-
sible, placing children in permanent homes through 
adoption; 
(2) the principle that such placements should be 
based on informed consent which has not been in-
duced by payment or compensation; 
(3) the view that long-term foster care or insti-
tutionalization are not permanent options and 
should be used when no other suitable permanent 
options are available; and 
(4) the recognition that programs that protect 
and support families can reduce the abandonment 
and exploitation of children.
