Waiting Children

Would You Like to See Photos of Waiting Children?

We want you to learn more about the children in need of adoption through our Children in HIS Image special needs program so that you can pray and prepare yourself for the possibility of adopting such a child. Children's faces steal our hearts because we are all made in HIS image and have a need to connect visually to others. That's why we have set up an email distribution list to share information and photos of special needs or older children in need of adoption.

In presenting children's pictures and brief descriptions, we want to protect the children's welfare so that their information is not going to be placed on inappropriate sites. Therefore, we are asking you to tell us a little about yourself. Once you have completed the form and agreed to the terms, you will receive periodic e-mails featuring waiting children. Thank you. (To read more about our efforts to find families for special needs children, go to our Children in HIS Image page.)

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF AGREEMENT FOR VIEWING CHILDREN PRESENTED THROUGH CONSTANT CONTACT, WEBINARS, AND EMAILS

Each time you receive information regarding waiting children from our Children in HIS Image program, you agree to be bound by these Terms of use, as may be amended or without notice. You are subject to any rules or laws applicable to the receiving of photo listed children.

1. Registration and responsibilities

To continue receiving information via Constant Contact, webinars or other password protected emails regarding waiting children, you will be required to submit your name, email address and basic information to register. Also, you agree to provide truthful information and must be at least 21 years old. By registering to receive these Constant Contacts, webinars, or other emails regarding waiting children, you explicitly agree to Nightlight's Terms of use, including any amendments made without notice.

2. The Sending of Constant Contact Service, Webinars, or General Emails

When the information regarding available children are sent, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information regarding a child, and we are not responsible or liable for timeliness of the information or the accuracy as such information can change.

Our desire and intent are to provide accurate information regarding the children at all times; however, a child's medical condition can change and more recent and accurate information may not be available at the time that information is presented. We encourage all families to obtain a professional medical evaluation based on the child's pictures and written medical report before making a decision to adopt a child. We also require all families to be well educated regarding adoption-related issues and the specific medical and other conditions and disabilities that the child may present.

3. Truthfulness in Presenting Yourself

If you see a child whom you are interested in adopting, please note that you must have a homestudy to be matched with a child. We have high standards regarding the homestudy process and the education you must receive. If do not have a homestudy or are in the homestudy process, you cannot be assigned a child.

If you see a child whom you would like to consider for adoption, you must complete the homestudy process. Some children who are older or have more serious disabilities in many instances will most unlikely be matched with another family while you are completing your homestudy. However, we cannot match you with a child until you have an approved homestudy and meet the requirements of the child's country. We cannot guarantee that a waiting child will be available when your homestudy is complete. We also cannot guarantee that a child who is listed as available for adoption will remain available for adoption or that you can adopt that child.

4. Privacy policy

We will not be sending the child's actual name through Constant Contacts, webinars, or any other general emails. We will honor the children's privacy.

Data and other identifiable information collected on those seeking information regarding the children is subject to all applicable laws of the United States federal and state laws and standard practices relating to the collection and use of personal and other information from users.

5. Your conduct

You are responsible for not distributing information regarding children. If you know of someone who may be interested in learning more about a child available for adoption, direct them to us. You agree not to share pictures of the child with others. If in the event someone accesses information through your account, you agree to immediately notify Nightlight of any unauthorized use of your user account.

You agree that all information or data of any kind, whether text, software, code, music or sound, photographs or graphics, video or other materials, made available will not be distributed. By agreeing to receive information regarding Waiting Children through the Constant Contacts or webinars or any service provided, you explicitly agree that:

(a) You will not conduct yourself in any way that may be construed as: unlawful; illegal; threatening; harmful; abusive; harassing; stalking; tortuous; defamatory; libelous; vulgar; obscene; offensive; objectionable; pornographic; designed to interfere with or disrupt the operation of this or any service provided;

(b) You will not deliberately send emails infected with a virus or other destructive or deleterious programming routine; giving rise to civil or criminal liability; or in violation of an applicable local, national or international law;

(c) You will not impersonate or misrepresent yourself or your association with any person or entity;

(d) You will not collect or harvest any information about other users;

(e) You will not use information regarding children or other families in any commercial or volunteer manner,

(f) You will not provide any content that may give rise to the webmaster or editor of the Constant Contact, the producers of Constant Contacts, the webinar hosts, WebEX or any other hosting program, being held civilly or criminally liable, or that may be considered a violation of any local, national or international law, including -- but not limited to -- laws relating to copyrights, trademarks, patents, or trade secrets.

(g) You will not use the information regarding children to harvest/collect information, private or public, on children presented. Information regarding the children or other families seeking information regarding the children may not be re-posted through email, discussion groups, postal mail, newsletter or any other form of conveying information to others.

(h) If in the event your misconduct leads to a child being exploited, Nightlight Christian Adoptions reserves the right to bring prosecution through legal means.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the editors, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, related parties, officers, directors, employees, agents of any of the information disseminated through Constant Contacts, private emails, or webinars, from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, that may be filed by any third party, arising out of your conduct or connection with the Constant Contact or WebEX service, your provision of content, your violation of these Terms of use, or any other violation by you of the rights of another person or party.
