PLEASE SEE INFORMATION IN THE FILES SECTION REGARDING OUR NEW PROGRAMS IN GHANA, JAPAN, AND THE UNITED STATES!!

Welcome to the Waiting Child group of Madison Adoption Associates. Here you will find information about our agency, our adoption programs, our procedures, and the specific children who wait for their families.

The ever-changing world of adoption has been keeping us on our toes. We were very disappointed to see adoptions stop in Guatemala and we continue to hope for a resolution to the issues so that children in that country will have the opportunity for a family of their own.

Madison Adoption Associates is expecting to receive a new list of waiting children from China soon (January-February 2009).

Madison has received temporary Hague accreditation and we had a very positive site visit in early October. We are expecting to receive our notice of full accreditation any day now. Hague compliance is an on-going process and We have learned a lot through the implementation of these standards.

PHOTOS AND REFERRAL INFORMATION for children who are currently waiting to be adopted can be found under the "Files" link on the left side of this page. There you will find the list of folders containing the children's files. (Please remember that CCAA will not allow child referrals or logged-in dossiers to be transferred from one agency to another.)
