New Virtual Institute Will Advocate for Waiting Children Worldwide Through Research, Education and Support
The Institute for Children of All Nations (ICAN) has officially launched, connecting adoption and special needs related resources, education, services and research to waiting children around the world. ICAN strongly believes that children with special needs are the most vulnerable, and the mission is to advocate for and find homes for these waiting children.
ICAN is part of Great Wall China Adoption/Children of All Nations, a leader in international adoption for over 14 years. Among the 8,000 adoptions facilitated to date, over 600 of these have been waiting children. ICAN also works in collaboration with the Child and Family Center for Innovative Research, University of Houston.
ICAN was developed to find homes for thousands of waiting children worldwide and to put them in touch with the best possible resources available for their growth, development and wellbeing. ICAN is a place families can go to access an exclusive database of local adoption and special needs related resources, medical and developmental experts, educational tools and support and a community of advocacy. ICAN supports families that are considering adoption as well as those families who have already adopted.
Please visit www.icanwaitingchild.org to start connecting with ICAN’s team of renowned experts and exclusive resources. As the institute continues to grow and expand upon its mission, additional, comprehensive services and tools will be made available.
