There are millions of children in the world who have been orphaned.
This is a global issue. It crosses international borders, racial divides, and economic classes. It impacts children from every walk of life, and something must be done about it.
What's standing between waiting children and families?
While the needs of orphans are both varying and complex, there are three key issues that Show Hopes seeks to address.
The cost of adoption can range between $25,000 and $50,000. That is outside the financial reach of most families.
Many children who have been orphaned live with mild to acute healthcare needs, requiring access to medical and therapeutic intervention.
Many who have the ability to make a difference in the lives of waiting children do not take action because they are unaware of the need or feel helpless to do anything.
