Countless organizations raise awareness for the many ways we can change our world to make it a better place. Many amazing organizations help children around the world who need love, protection, and a forever family. Building Arizona Families is one of those organizations that focuses on helping children in at-risk parts of the world. We are on a mission to find as many safe and loving homes for Haitian children through our international Haiti adoption program. We are actively looking for families who want to adopt children over the age of six or sibling groups.
Adopting from Haiti Will Change a Child’s Life Forever
Learning How to Support Your New Child’s Life Transitions
Haiti adoptions are incredible journeys to change a child’s life. It is important, however, to be aware that early life experiences will affect your child. Every child who has lost their birth family and lived in an orphanage has experienced trauma. Be prepared to be a part of your adopted Haitian child’s healing by addressing the effects of the trauma they have experienced.
Learning About Becoming a Multicultural Family
One important way of easing the transition into a different culture and family is by integrating parts of their Haitian culture into your family’s everyday life. It could be by cooking their favorite Haitian foods or learning to speak some Haitian Creole. Learning about and celebrating your child’s birth culture will help them develop a healthy identity while you expand your understanding of the Haitian people.
Letting Go of Control to Let Love and Happiness In
During your Haiti adoption journey, there are many aspects of the process that are out of your control. Adoption timelines and approvals by the Haitian government are a couple of the items that require you to be flexible and patient. While the journey provides lessons in patience and relinquishment of control, they can yield happiness and joy, giving you rich life lessons that will be invaluable for your family’s future.
Embracing Profound Life Change
International Haiti adoption will have its challenges, but it will also bring you the joy of growing your forever family. Your heart and core will profoundly grow when bringing your adopted child from Haiti into your family.
