If there are 1.8 million orphans, why does adoption take so long?" This is a question a waiting family asked one of our social workers.

After more than 1 year of operating as an adoption agency, we share our realizations of why the adoption journeys of families can take longer than expected. We also share what future adoptive parents can do while waiting for their child to be welcomed home.

Generations—Home (also known as ROHEI Foundation) is a nonprofit organization on a mission to end the orphan crisis. We are a licensed agency that facilitates adoptions and foster care placements in Metro Manila, Philippines.
