World Links International Adoption Agency

Hundreds of children found permanent loving families through our programs. Thousands more are waiting. This could be your first ever glance into international adoption, or you may know just about everything there is to know about it, but be it the former or the latter - you are a hero in our eyes. Every day we work hard to find families for children, and everyone who opens their heart, who shares their love, who welcomes a child into their family is both a hero, and a parent. Being a parent doesn’t get enough credit lately, but it should. Being a good parent is hard work, but that eternal bond that you build with your child, that sparkle in her eyes when she talks to you, that feeling of being a family is what makes it all worth it. That is what our families tell us, and that is what makes us work even harder every day. We know that there are more children waiting, and there are more parents anxious to fill that void in their heart, and they trust us to help them find each other. Children depend on us. You depend on us. We never take that trust for granted.
