Ladies and gentlemen,
Usually it is like this: erstwhile a desire to grow a household arises in the hearts of spouses, they start trying to have a kid and after any time under the heart of the parent begins to germinate a fresh life. It's the natural and most beautiful road.
But sometimes something goes wrong. The next months without the desired 2 lines on the pregnancy test gradually kill hope, turning it into stress, frustration, and large sadness. Sometimes there is simply a diagnosis that gives a clear answer: there is no chance of pregnancy. For another couples, specified an answer never comes, they must face constant uncertainty, knowing the passing of time.
When the road to becoming a mom and dad closes, there's a longing.
But in the hearts of any couples another door opens. Think about fulfilling your desire to be a parent, giving your home to the kid who is waiting for him.
In fact, at the beginning of specified a decision there are no problems with conception. Sometimes the desire to share parental love is so strong that it spills not only on biological children, and the openness to welcome a kid into a household who needs a safe home, appears in the hearts of their spouses even erstwhile they already have a full family.
There's another side to any communicative like this.
It's a baby waiting for Mom and Dad. People who will make a safe, warm home for him, full of love, happiness and care for his needs.
With this desire, all kid is born.
Adoption decision opens a fresh chapter – The waiting time for a child, but... nothing like what most of us expected..
Future parents don't number off another week of pregnancy, don't observe all the symptoms, don't watch the baby on ultrasound. They don't know erstwhile to deliver.
Instead, they are undergoing a number of procedures, studies, training and talks. And erstwhile the decision is made that they can become parents, they just wait for that 1 call. On the another side of the headset there is simply a long - awaited invitation to meet your boy or daughter.
And this is inactive not the end – they inactive have a waiting period for the final decision to adopt the child, again full of formalities to deal with, sometimes stress and burden associated with the new, hard function of the parent. The next months and years are a very demanding period of bonding, getting to know 1 another and creating a dream family.
At this peculiar time, erstwhile the beginnings of parenting are so unique, parents request support, as material as emotional or spiritual.
Seeing these needs, we want to make for future parents a space where they can get aid at all phase of this road: from legal aid and educational materials, through intellectual care to a community of families willing to share their experience and heart.
We want to build bridges between children who are waiting and adults who want to open their homes and hearts.
That is why we would like to invitation you present to join the initiative “Mecenas for the small One” which we are taking together with the Ordo Iuris Institute, which aims at comprehensive support in the adoption process.
Because adoption is not just a formality – it is an act of love that changes your full life. This is an chance to make a place where children's tears turn into a smile, and loneliness yields to the feeling of belonging.
In Poland in 2024, nearly 76 1000 children were in foster care (both household and institutional). Most of them lived in foster homes, but more than 16.5 1000 were in foster homes.
These numbers are inactive growing.
Each specified kid is simply a separate story. frequently tragic and marked with suffering.
Some of them, although in the planet for only a fewer weeks or months, experienced failure and pain of loneliness at the start of their lives. Others have become victims of neglect and force from those who should give them love and security.
However, each 1 carries in his heart the desire to have a relation with individual who, in hard moments, hugs and hears who will support a good word, who will fatten to sleep at night, and the next morning will be next to him.
A safe home and household that gives stableness and care is simply a chance for them.
Even the best functioning institution and the most dedicated caregivers in the child’s home will not replace the family.
Because all kid needs this peculiar bond – a relation with a parent. The household does not only supply basic needs, it besides gives (and may above all) a sense of belonging. At home, a kid learns to trust, love and be loved, builds his identity, develops self-esteem and discovers the meaning of the relationship.
Children who for various reasons cannot be raised in biological families, a chance for a new, safe home, gives adoption.
Yet there are inactive besides many small ones waiting for their parents.
Adoption and foster families have had hard but beautiful stories. From the suffering they suffered, parents were able to draw out something that yet led both them and their adopted children to fulfill their dreams of a home full of love, warmth and security.
But the road that led them to this place wasn't easy.
The decision of 2 people to open their hearts to a kid seeking a home is just the beginning. It is followed by further steps, starting with contact with the adoption centre, by completing the essential documents, diagnosis, training, conversations and opinions.
This is, of course, an crucial stage, the goal is the welfare of the kid and uncovering a home for him where he can grow up in love.
However, the vast amount of procedures, formalities and essential investigation can be frightening.
Many possible parents have already given up on this road. Convinced that the adoption process is long and complicated, they quit their efforts to qualify, though they feel a calling to make a home for the kid who needs it. However, with legal advice and intellectual support, many matters can be clarified, arranged and importantly accelerated, expanding the chances of a affirmative completion of the adoption procedure.
That is why present we want to invitation you to participate in an crucial campaign, which we undertake together as the Center of Life and household and the Ordo Iuris Institute.

Life doesn't end with birth. Adoption and another forms of foster care are its continuation, directed towards children who for various reasons cannot be raised in biological families. But they all deserve their own home, safety and love.
No even the best functioning institution will always replace household education. Institutionally, basic care, education, educational activities can be replaced. Nothing, however, replaces the unique, individual relation between a parent and a child, participation in the average household everyday life, the sense of belonging.
Care that all kid may grow up surrounded by the love of Mom and Dad is simply a real service of life.
In 2023 1.4 1000 children were adopted.
It's 1,400 hearts that can yet burn up the love that all kid wants and needs: love for Mom and Dad.
But there is inactive a multitude of those waiting, increasing up without family. And quite a few parents dream of holding their boy or daughter 1 day.
Let's aid them meet.
