A Boy Who Waits: Meet I.K.

$7,000 in grants are available to I.K.'s adoptive family!

Today, we want to bring your attention to this adorable boy who will turn two in May! We’ve received numerous updates on him over the past year and he has frequently been described as happy, sweet, and curious.

He is independent and busy, but still likes to be held. When he falls or gets hurt slightly, he will ask for a hug.

He loves music and will dance along when it is turned on. He can be shy and cautious in new settings, but once he gets familiar with the location, he plays well. He particularly enjoys playing with his car and musical instruments, and he LOVES bath time! We have video of him playing with his foster mother available to eligible families who inquire, as well as many more photos.

International & Domestic Adoption — Respected for our legacy of excellence in adoption services, Children's Home and Lutheran Social Service believe that every child deserves a permanent, loving family.

Post-Placement Support & Connections — Children's Home and Lutheran Social Service are committed to supporting all members of the adoption circle throughout their lifelong journey. We are proud to offer educational and cultural events, travel, search and background services, and opportunities to connect to the larger adoption community.

International Child Welfare — Children's Home and Lutheran Social Service recognize an inherent responsibility to improve the quality of life in countries where we facilitate international adoption. We support targeted, community-based projects that provide care, protection, health and education to vulnerable children around the world.
