Children in His Image – Special Needs Adoptions

Recognizing the great need to place more children with special needs for adoption, in 2009 Nightlight began “Children in His Image,” a program with the following goals:

• Inform the public about the plight of orphans with special physical, mental and emotional needs.
• Share the availability of orphans with special needs with prospective families.
• Educate families how to best serve these children.
• Highlight adoption programs that place children with special needs.

All countries we work in have children of various ages available.  Many sibling groups, older children and children with special needs are available in most countries we work in.  The types of special needs vary in each country.  Special needs can range from very minor to moderate to severe special needs. To find out more about the special needs children available in each country please reach out to the program coordinators.
