Honduras Program Update

We are happy to report that despite the delays that families and agencies are experiencing in Honduras, we are seeing families continue to move up the dossier waiting list. We are still in need of families open to adopt waiting children. Profiles of children who are older or younger with special needs are ready NOW to be matched with eligible families. Check out our Honduras Program webpage for more information and feel free to call us. We’d be happy to talk with you and answer any questions you have. 

Honduras Waiting Children

Two new precious Waiting Children profiles have been added to the Honduras Waiting Children list! Current America World families can email their Family Coordinator for the password to the WC webpage. If you are not currently adopting through AW and would like to view the children available on our Honduras Waiting Children webpage, please submit a Free Pre-Application. A Family Coordinator will be in touch with the information needed to view the list of Waiting Children. 

Honduras Program Updates

We are excited to announce the creation of our Honduras Waiting Child Page. Because this is a password protected webpage, please contact our offices for more information regarding our policies and procedures regarding accessing the children's information. Waiting children in Honduras can be boys and girls of all ages with a medical need, or older children who are considered healthy. We encourage any family that is interested in learning more about adopting a waiting child from Honduras to contact us to learn more about the adoption process. 

Honduras Program Updates

We are so blessed to have the opportunity to provide the Honduras program as an option to families desiring to adopt. We are thankful for God’s favor in the work that we do here at America World and are continuing to trust Him as we help families move forward in their adoption processes. Recently our CEO, Brian Luwis, visited our staff in Honduras as well as adoption officials and returned with a very encouraging report regarding positive and productive meetings.

We do consider the Honduras program to still be in a pilot stage as we cautiously move through the process with current families and as we look forward to adoptions being finalized in the future. We covet your prayers for not only our program, but for Honduras adoptions in general, government officials, adoption professionals serving in the country, for families in the process and most of all for the precious children who are waiting for their forever families.

If you or someone you know is interested in adopting from Honduras please feel free to contact our corporate staff at 1 (800) 429-3369 and they will be very glad to answer questions and tell you more about the program. 

Honduras Program Updates

The Honduras program has seen recent developments with many dossiers receiving registration numbers from IHNFA (Honduras' adoption authority) and numerous other families who have begun their adoption process and who are working on building their dossier. IHNFA continues to seek ways to improve their processing and there have been many positive meetings with our staff in Honduras and IHFNA officials. The total adoption process timeframe and referral wait times continue to be unpredictable due to various factors. Families in the program, or who are considering the program, should continue to keep expectations flexible in regards to adoption completion timeframes.

America World is accepting new applications for this program and prospective clients can contact our staff with questions on the program or process. Current clients will continue to receive regular communication and program updates from their Family Coordinator.

Honduras Program

Our Honduras program is still alive and well! We’re excited about the prospect of continued work in Honduras and helping families be matched with children. We have received information regarding the new individuals that are overseeing the adoption process and we know that their intentions are to create a smoother, more efficient process. We certainly continue to pray that the process will continue to see positive changes and many families matched with precious little ones. America World has worked diligently to build a strong professional relationship with the government of Honduras and with the central adoption authority. We are thankful to God for His favor upon us thus far!
