World Association for Children and Parents (WACAP):

WACAP (pronounced WAY-cap) provides life-changing aid and adoption services to orphans and other children who need families. WACAP is one of the largest and most experienced international nonprofit adoption and child assistance agencies in the United States, placing over 10,000 children with loving adoptive parents and provided food, medical care and education to more than 200,000 children worldwide since 1976. WACAP's vision is "A Family for Every Child", believing that all children are born with the right to a loving family and that each child deserves adequate nutrition, medical care and education. Adoption is a life-changing opportunity for children who cannot remain with their birth families. For every child adopted, however, many more are left behind. To benefit these children, our mission goes beyond traditional adoption services to include child assistance and sponsorship. WACAP's work is supported solely by funding from adoption fees, donations, grants and corporate support. With this support, we are able to collaborate with outside agencies and governments to meet the needs of children worldwide.
