[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean presbyterian sponsors special needs orphans ( or children at-risk of abandonment) in Romania each November. You get a Christmas ornament so you can pray for the child each year. What I love about Romanian Christian Enterprise is that the team takes photos of the children opening the gifts. You get a letter in February or March.  I think it’s a great way to teach kids about empathy.[/quote]

You know what would be more helpful. Adopting these kids or ones hard to place in the US.  We have so many US kids with SN lingering in foster care till they are 18 with no family and yet, funny thing, no one wants to do more than a token donation to make themselves feel like they are doing so much. (yes we adopted a SN child).  That is not teaching empathy.  Empathy is far more.[/quote]

Yes, PP. The adoption agencies are dying for parents to contact them saying, "Hi, I want to adopt a special needs child to teach my biological 4 year old about empathy."
