A Child’s Right Campaign

Joint Council’s Child’s Right Campaign was very successful thanks to your responses to requests to contact your legislative representatives. A total of 149 members of the United States Congress signed a letter to Secretary Condolisa Rice. Joint Council has received a copy of the response issued by the Department of State to the members of the United States Congress who signed the letter – please check their website for the most up-to-date information.

New Beginnings is happy and honored to be a part of the miracle of international adoption. An orphaned child, born in another country and deemed legally freed for international adoption is being placed in an American’s home. At least three different governments agencies regulate international adoptions. Numerous agencies, organizations and people are involved in the process. The fact that some difficulties can exist is to be expected. After all, helping families to grow is a very human endeavor. The fact that international adoptions happen so frequently, without difficulties, is amazing. We place orphan children into loving homes week in and week out, year after year. The adoption process is overwhelmingly successful.

New Beginnings was established in 1985 and since that time has united over 2,000 children with loving parents. Uniting families is what we do. The adoption is not the process. The paperwork, the homestudy, receiving the assignment and the trip abroad are only means to the adoption. The adoption is about changing diapers and caring for your child when he is sick. It is her first day of school and riding her two wheeler. It is her first date, the prom and graduation. It is college, marriage and eventually grandchildren. Uniting families is not the moment at the airport or the trip abroad, it is the years that pass. New Beginnings guides you through the process, so there will be an adoption, so someday you will hopefully be a grandparent.

Our first generation of infants placed are now graduating college and marrying and having children of their own. We are very proud of these children and what they have accomplished, and proud to have been a part of that.

New Beginnings’ professional staff has extensive experience in international adoption. From the beginning of the adoption process through the post-legalization adoption stage, New Beginnings provides comprehensive adoption services required for a successful adoptive placement, and coordinates the different parties to ultimately unite a child in need with you.
