Speak to an adoptive family in your state.
Local families you may contact for a reference.
Children's Hope International's CHAPs program is a group of Children's Hope adoptive parent volunteers working to educate and encourage people in their area about international adoption. Our awesome CHAPs volunteers are available to give you local support, and are happy to share their adoption experience with you!
Our volunteer families are precious to us! While they are happy to speak with you about their adoption experience, please respect their privacy and contact them only if you are serious about international adoption.
If you have adopted from Children's Hope and would like to become a CHAPs family, please contact Ginny Burkhart.
