Philippines Winter Hosting is Here!
Philippines Winter Hosting
We’re excited to announce that our Philippines Winter Hosting Program is launching TODAY! We like to think of it as celebrating Christmas in July as families are matched with the amazing kiddos who will participate in the Holiday program over December and January.
Our Philippines Program is currently open to families in Texas, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and New York. This is a requirement of the country.
The children of our Philippines Winter Hosting Program are between ages 8-15, and we have a number of sibling groups looking for a host and forever family. Children from the Philippines are generally healthy and are excited for the opportunity to spend time with a family! These children have often had tough lives but are resilient, sweet, and look to host families for love and support.

Five Host Children Home Forever!
Five Host Children Home
We are SO happy to share that 12 more kiddos from our China Waiting Child adoption program have joined their new Forever Families just on time for Father’s Day – what a great way to start our week of honoring adoptive dads! Congratulations from all of us at Great Wall China Adoption and welcome home to five host children!
While many of these kids have just met their new families for the very first time, five of them came to the US previously to participate in our Orphan Hosting program, and have been eagerly awaiting this reunion! We are so happy that everyone made it home safe and sound, and we can’t wait to see what these amazing kids’ futures hold!
Orphan Hosting – Helping Older Orphans Find Loving Forever Families
Our Orphan Hosting program provides older, special needs orphans with the opportunity to spend 4-5 weeks in America with a family. During this time, the family welcomes them into their hearts and home, either taking the first steps towards adopting them or advocating on their behalf with the hope of finding them a Forever Family. The children in our Orphan Hosting program are considered more difficult to place due to the fact that they are older and generally have a need of some sort. Without hosting, their files are typically sit on China’s Shared Listing untouched, and overlooked in favor of younger children. By bringing these kiddos here for our hosting program, families are able to meet them and see how they fit into their family dynamic, eliminating the uncertainty that some families feel is associated with older child adoption. This program has changed many children’s lives, and we are so incredibly happy to see more and more of these host kiddos joining loving families forever.
