ICANZ Adoption Conference 2010: Footprints on the Journey, June 2010 information here

An ORPHAN is defined by World Initiative for Orphans as: "Any child under the age of eighteen who, due to death, abandonment, abuse, neglect, AIDS, war, culture or poverty, lives without parental care."

In 2003, over 16 million children were orphaned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ICANZ MISSION STATEMENT:
For every child, a family

ICANZ believes that every child has the right to the love and care of a family and works to this end.

Adopting a child will not change the world; but for that one child, the whole world changes!
