Update on India Program & Additional Children Available
Yesterday, we shared some exciting news from our India program about many children who are now available for adoption. Since yesterday's post, we have received additional children who have now become available for adoption!
America World is passionate about finding forever families for the children of India that are waiting, and we are currently seeing a huge need for families open to children affected by HIV. The reality is that there are many children waiting in orphanages for a family because of their HIV-positive status. Many of these children are on the CARINGS website and are available and ready to be matched with home study-ready families. These are children of either gender and all different ages; the most common need is for children age four years and above. They urgently need the love and care of a family, but their status has been a significant barrier; some of these children having lived in their orphanage since birth.
The current list (as of May 7, 2015) of HIV-positive children available and waiting for their forever families are:
- 4-year old female
- 5-year old male
- 5-year old male
- 5-year old female

- 6-year old male
- 6-year old male
- 7-year old female
- 8-year old male
- 9 -year old female
- 9 -year old female

These are just some of the children currently available to be matched. Please note that these are shared referrals, and the children available for adoption changes daily, as agencies around the world match waiting children.
