The day when a child leaves Aloha House with the new parents is the day we start all over with the next one. We have 13 crib spaces and they refill soon after the last child is adopted. Each bed can serve 12 to 15 children in 18 years. Without adoption, the children would stay in an institution all their lives. One bed, one child. We love these children and give them the best we can. But the care never is as good as real parents. A proper home is where mom and dad are in the next room.
Children deserve to be in families. God's plan is for mothers and fathers to raise children, not institutions. Of course, an institution is better than living on the streets or enduring a life of abuse or neglect. But why stop at the institutional level. These children can be matched with qualified families through Philippine Law. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)oversees children's homes and orphanages so that they can give the best possible care to their clients while they wait for permanent adoption. We usually have 300-400 families to choose from. They are pre-approved and waiting for children to add to their families.
So why not give the children the best thing for them, a loving mommy and daddy!
