Recognizing the vital role of families in the lives of the children, especially in supporting optimum development, Hospicio tries its best to preserve or strengthen families as much as possible. Support services are provided in the efforts to keep the family intact and functional. If not possible, other alternative parental care such as kinship care, adoption, or foster care are explored. In the past 20 years, 255 children found their new homes with their adoptive families, local or inter-country. From their loving home-Hospicio to their loving homes with their adoptive families. From Love to Love.
“Living in Hospicio enabled us to continue our education and we made lifelong friends and memories. I was able to enjoy my childhood without having to worry about where my next meal was coming from. Many of our caretakers were very understanding and loving. The Sisters were also very nice and they taught us many things. The social workers were very considerate and looked hard for someone to adopt us. Our integration to our adoptive families went easy as they were very welcoming and loving. I’m really grateful to all the people who helped us get adopted and happy to have a good home.” Angie, adopted in 2011 along with her 2 siblings.
