Haiti Children & Adoptions
Sunny Ridge has received inquiries from families regarding the possibility of Haiti adoptions. The focus at this time is on life-saving and survival efforts. Following this, every effort will be made to reunite children with birth-family members.

The Joint Council on International Children’s Services (JCICS) website and the Department of State website have both issued statements regarding Haiti adoptions in relation to the earthquake. 

You may have seen news reports of Haitian children who were in process of being adopted prior to the earthquake, arriving in the United States with their adopted family. It will be some time before there is a clear understanding as to the number of children truly orphaned by the earthquake, and the role that intercountry adoption agencies can play in meeting this need.

For families who wish to help children in Haiti, Sunny Ridge encourages donations to aid organizations such as the Red Cross.

Sunny Ridge Family Center is licensed as a child welfare agency by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services (#019976), and by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Division of Family and Children, as a child placing agency.
