IMG_haitiHAITI-URGENT REQUEST FOR DONATIONS

UPDATED 1/15/2010 From Haiti: We have been blessed. We have no injuries and no mortalities. Our building had to be evacuated because of severe damage to the structure. I can try to get some specifics to you but it will be a bit difficult based on the status of our equipment. We have no power and our generator has been damaged….. To alleviate the expected food and other shortages, we are asking people to send funds. This is a catastrophe of great proportion and the implications will not be understood until the international community does what it can or wants to do. We are in these circumstances at the good mercy of God.

BAF will be sending donations down to Maison des Anges to assist with rebuilding and caring for the children after the earthquake destruction. 100% of all donations will go towards MDA. At this time we will welcome any cash donations. For information please call us at 623-936-4729. To donate online, click on the link below. PayPal will charge a 3% service fee.

Our first donation went to MDA on 1-16-10. There is much more work to do.

Expedited & Affordable Home Studies

Our goal is to make the home study a positive experience and to support you in becoming an adoptive parent. A professional home study report is required before a family can adopt a child internationally or from anywhere in the U.S. As a child placing/adoption agency licensed in the State of Arizona and Hague Accredited, our home study reports satisfy the legal requirements for the State of Arizona, domestic adoptions in other states, international adoptions, and all out-of-state adoption agencies coordinating child placements. We offer resource materials, pre- and post-placement adoption counseling, and personal support.

Hague Convention Accredited

Having been approved by the Council On Accreditation (COA), Building Arizona Families has received Hague accreditation. This signifies that Building Arizona Families meets an international standard of practice based upon a treaty called the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption. The Hague Convention, which has been ratified by 75 countries, establishes protections for children, birth parents, and adoptive parents while it also endorses the concept of international adoption as a means for homeless children to receive permanent, loving families.
