Hand in Hand International Adoptions operates in the Pakistan

Pakistan – Hand In Hand is currently working to license and register our program for Christian children in Pakistan. We are working toward opening a care facility staffed with nurses and a social worker who will work with the children and relinquishing families. Setting up under a mission group, our facility will be named Abundant Hope Children's Home and will house up to 20 children in need of adoptive homes. We have great needs at this time of donations to assist with the facility and the lease of a car for our coordinator to facilitate the movement of children and adoptive families through the processing of documents. Once the licensing and registration process is completed (hopefully by the end of December), we will begin the work toward processing homeless and relinquished Christian children in the province of Punjab to enter the facility and be eligible for adoptive placement. Continued communication is taking place with the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad to find a way whereby the eligible children's paperwork can be reviewed, investigated and approved PRIOR to a family ever traveling to Pakistan. This hoped for step, will shorten the length of time that a family will need to stay in Pakistan before bringing their child home. Donations to assist with this program should be sent to MaryLee Lane, Hand In Hand, 9520 S.W. 9th Terrace, Ocala, FL 34476 and marked Pakistan Donation.
