WHFC's Waiting Children

Wide Horizons for Children's Horizon Kids initiative finds parents for children who have been waiting for an adoptive family. WHFC places waiting children from nearly every country we work in, ranging from infancy to school age.

The majority have the potential for normal growth and development. Some are waiting because they are older; some are members of a sibling group; some have mild, correctible medical needs, and others have more severe needs that require special attention. These are our "Horizon Kids," children who might never have a family except for the very real miracle of adoption.
