Adopt from Korea
In mid-June, the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) announced that starting July 1, local government entities will counsel birth mothers and take relinquishments of children. After the relinquishment, the local government assigns the child to be cared for by one of the Korean adoption agencies.
Adopt from Morocco
Moroccan children 6-13 months old, older children, children with identified needs and some siblings are in need of loving Muslim families.
Waiting Children
For many people, a waiting child adoption is a wonderful way to add to their family. A waiting child is a child who is legally free for adoption but does not yet have a permanency plan. A child may be waiting because of a identified need, birth family risk, or age.
Interested families are invited to learn more about New Beginnings’ current waiting children.
Adopt From Thailand
Children in Thailand in need of adoptive families range in age from three years to pre-teen. They are typically healthy and receive a great deal of attention and care.
Adopt from China
The Chinese Adoption program is one of the most stable and established international adoption program available to families today. Adoption services are provided through China’s Center for Children’s Welfare and Adoption (CCWA). Currently, children waiting for adoption in China are older children (3+) and those who have mild to moderate identified cognitive or physical needs. To ensure these children join a family as soon as possible, CCWA expedites their adoption processes.
Homestudy Services
As a Hague Accredited Agency, New Beginnings can provide Supervised Home Study Services for most agencies and programs. We also do home studies for domestic adoptions. For families who are working with a separate agency for the placement of the child, New Beginnings offers home study and post-adoption services to families residing in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
Financing Your Adoption Process
If you have chosen to pursue international adoption, financial assistance and grants may be available to you. Learn more about the types of aid and the many organizations that can help.
