We are looking for a loving adoptive family for an adorable little boy named Michael. Michael is 6 years old and lives with a foster family in Colombia. He has faced many hardships in his young life and is delayed in all areas of development.
Children like Michael, 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 Michael and his specific needs can be received after speaking with a member of our team
*If you are interested in adopting Michael but finances are a potential barrier, please speak with a member of our team as assistance may be available.
To learn more about Michael, contact our Adoption Team at 212-400-8150 or email us at info@spence-chapin.org
If you receive and accept the referral of Michael 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.
