This group is for any families who either are in process of adopting from America World or who have already adopted from America World and are interested in adopting from America World's Waiting Children Program. This yahoo group is a resource for America World families, enabling them to be connected to families who have adopted children with special needs, families in the process of adopting a specific Waiting Child, and families considering adopting children in the Waiting Children Program. No matter what stage of the adoption you are in, this group can provide valuable insight, encouragement, and support. The children on America World's waiting child list are first made available to clients of America World who are in the Waiting Children Program, but those not placed will be posted on America World's main webpage under the China Waiting Children link. If you are interested in any of the children listed, please contact waitingchildren@awaa.org. Thank you for considering these precious children.
