A Boy Who Waits: Meet C.

A $10,000 child-specific grant is available to C's adoptive family

C is an eight-year-old boy with a skin condition that makes him look different than his peers. Because of this, initially some children do not want to play with him, and he gets left out, but once other children get to know him they are generally more welcoming. He is pretty self-confident despite this, and his outgoing personality helps others warm to him. He has good relationships with his foster family and other children, and initiates games with others.

C is an artist, athlete and a good performer in school. He is mild-mannered and handles his frustrations well. He is also very respectful and knows the difference between right and wrong.

We cannot share a clear photo of C online, but photos are available to those who inquire.

International & Domestic Adoption — Respected for our legacy of excellence in adoption services, Children's Home and Lutheran Social Service believe that every child deserves a permanent, loving family. Today the need for adoption is most urgent for older children, sibling groups, children with a history of abuse and neglect, and children with known medical and special needs.

Post-Placement Support & Connections — Children's Home and Lutheran Social Service are committed to supporting all members of the adoption circle throughout their lifelong journey. We are proud to offer educational and cultural events, travel, search and background services, and opportunities to connect to the larger adoption community.

International Child Welfare — Children's Home and Lutheran Social Service recognize an inherent responsibility to improve the quality of life in countries where we facilitate international adoption. We support targeted, community-based projects that provide care, protection, health and education to vulnerable children around the world.
