RE: Adoption: Baha'i Children

[Brill de Ramirez, Susan]

Sandra,

We are newly foster-to-adopt parents of a wonderful little boy.  There are many 
foster children throughout the U. S. waiting for permanent homes.  As long as a 
child is in the foster care system, by law, their biological parents have the 
right to determine the children's religion [unless parental rights have been 
legally terminated], but once children are legally adopted, their adoptive 
parents then guide their religious education.

This doesn't exactly answer your inquiry.  There is a public website 
www.adoptuskids.com that lists many of the waiting children in the United 
States.

All the best,

Susan

Is anyone on the list aware of a Baha'i Children Adoption 
Service/Organization - perhaps in the U.S.?

RE: Adoption: Baha'i Children

[Sandra Chamberlain]

Thank you, Susan and Congratulations! with heart-felt 
admiration.  Lucky little boy!  Lucky family!


Actually I'm inquiring about matching Baha'is seeking to 
adopt and available children within the Faith.


I myself was adopted at 3 months...  Records sealed.  Because 
the Faith supports Open adoption it would be an ideal 
service to have within the Faith.  I belieive the Catholic 
Church does something similar.


Lovingly,  Sandra
