Adoption Procedures
To adopt a baby or a young child from the Little Saints Orphanage is
not impossible.
It is not without labour!
It takes nine months for a woman to bring a baby into the world. So
adopters should be ready to go through the necessary procedures or
fulfill the necessary conditions to adopt a baby.
The first thing we look for in our adopters is love. Compassion must
be visible.
Adoption should not be a way out of the stigma of barrenness or a way
of showing off to neighbors and family. It must come from a desire to
love a child. It must be motivated by our love for God. It must be
because we want to raise a child for God as a demonstration of our
love for God. Every child is a gift from God. Every child is an
object of our love for God and for humanity. So if you want to adopt a child
from the little saints orphanage then be ready to love the child for
the rest of your days. Be ready to be accountable for the success of
that child. Be ready to be a good steward of the gift. Every child is
a gift to humanity and if nourished properly will enhance the human
race.
