With almost 50 years of adoption expertise, Wide Horizons is the partner you can trust to grow your family. We work with families across the United States to provide loving homes to vulnerable children from around the world.
The National Authority for Child Care in the Philippines does not allow us to post photos of Waiting Children on our website, so please schedule a free phone consultation as your first step if you’re interested in exploring an adoption from the Philippines.
Waiting Children are kids who need a little extra help finding just the right family. They are children who are ready to be adopted NOW, but Wide Horizons does not have a family identified to match them with. While the majority of the children we place for adoption are not Waiting Children, considering a child on our Waiting Child photo listing may open your heart to a child who really needs a family. There is no definition of who becomes “waiting”, but the kids tend to be one or more of the following:
An email sent to a family in 2020 changed their lives forever. A two and a half year journey brought Tyler home to his forever family.
Two dads have been planning and waiting for Porter since the beginning. See how the birth parents chose Porters adoptive parents.
Sometimes, the right adoptive family for an orphaned child needs a helping hand to make the adoption possible. This heartwarming story shows just how true this is!

“We will be forever grateful to Wide Horizons for advocating for our son, Jacob, on their Waiting Child list. We researched as much as we could about Cerebral Palsy. We were able to find rehabilitative specialists in our area and decided to move forward with pursuing the option of an older child. Now, it is difficult to believe his CP is truly considered a special need. Jacob is an amazing boy, he has received awards for kindness at his school, is clever and funny with a truly compassionate soul. His baseline emotion is happiness and he embraces life with an infectious enthusiasm. It breaks my heart to think we might have missed out on knowing this wonderful little boy if we had let an arbitrary age or fear of CP dissuade us from becoming his parents.”
—Jane on Jacob, Adopted through the Wide Horizons For Children China Program
You can request to review a waiting child’s file no matter where you are in the adoption process.
