We are looking for a loving adoptive family for a little girl named Melany. Melany resides in a foster home in Colombia and is described as social and quick to make friends.
Melany struggles with academics due to developmental delays and she is receiving various support services.
Children like Melany, who are considered ‘waiting children’ generally have multi-faceted characteristics and needs which exceed the common characteristics and needs of children otherwise placed in one of our international programs. We are looking for the right family for waiting children because of their unique needs and vulnerabilities.
More information about Melany and her specific needs can be received after speaking with a member of our team
*If you are interested in adopting Melany but finances are a potential barrier, please speak with a member of our team as assistance may be available.
To learn more about Melany, contact our Adoption Team at 212-400-8150 or email us at [email protected]
If you receive and accept the referral of Melany through Spence-Chapin, you will benefit from the generosity of our new BriDen Adoption Fund, which can offset the costs of adopting an international Waiting Child by $5,000! The BriDen Adoption fund is made possible by the generosity of a Spence-Chapin donor.
