| Philosophy: The term "adoption" among other things literally means to take into one's family through legal means and bring up as one's own child, a new relationship, a friend or heir. However, despite the efforts of all organizations, it is impossible to have all children that need a home in a home. It may be one or a combination of the following:
-
Not all those willing to adopt a child can do it with ease both financially and legally.
-
Not all those willing to adopt a child have the physical space and time to raise a child, although they have a heart full of love.
Adoption is a gift of the innermost love and No child should have to wait regardless of their circumstances to be adopted. Can you imagine growing up without the support of a permanent home, without a family to call your own? Thus our program is intended to satisfy the yearning of both the adopter and the adopted.
At TWDI, we believe that all individuals deserve a decent, happy childhood and the chance to fulfil their potential. They deserve the opportunity to go to school, have access to clean water, nutritional food, basic medical care and shelter. Many individuals especially children around the world are trapped by their environment, poverty, poor nutrition and illiteracy, through no fault of their own. ACT NOW and help us break the cycle of poverty.
