The Children
Almost all orphanage children experience some emotional issues and developmental delays from the loss of family and simply from institutionalization. However, with the cooperation of orphanage directors, and with medical and psychological reports, children are selected who offer the best chance for integration into family life. In most cases, adopted children have soon mastered English and have caught up developmentally. Many are bright and talented children who have blessed their families greatly.
The adoptive family has the right to make the final decision on selection of their child. Based first on medicals, and then on time spent with the child, each family decides whether the referred child is right for their family.
The family will be presented with all available information on the child's medical condition and social history. A special report will be prepared by the agency's in-county representative based on all available information.
Training in international adoption is offered by An Open Door in Georgia, or by home study agencies in other states or on-line. The training prepares the adoptive family for the adoption process, for identifying and avoiding any significant emotional problems, and ultimately for helping an orphan child reach their full potential.
We have consistently found that families which have earnestly sought their child in prayer have ultimately been blessed with the right child for them.
