Adoption - the 1st Step

When you find adoption in your heart, the first thing to do is contact Little Angel’s Network. There is also a Christian based agency, and a government agency – we chose Little Angel’s, since I had heard them mentioned on the Internet quite a bit. There website is private (?), so I don’t recommend trying to contact them via email either – I never did hear back from them. So pick up the phone, and give them a call. The number to dial is: 254-20-386-6442 and technically, their website is: www.littleangels.or.ke IF you can get it to work for YOU! Who ever anwers the phone will be very helpful - a shocking and rare event here in Kenya!

So what you have to do then, is actually go in person to pick up the application forms. Basically you have to pre-apply, to apply! NOT joking. And they are these faded yellow tissue-paper forms from the 1950’s, I SWEAR! So like why they are kept in lock-down – Lord only knows!

Anyway – when you get there, you will be taken into a little room with a little table and a couple plastic lawn chairs. A very pleasant social worker will come in and ask you a few questions, and then basically READS the fine print to you, and explains what else you have to do, and what documentation you have to include in your application. All in all, it takes about 10 minutes, and was quite interesting and even... dare I say...enjoyable!
