Colombia Program January 2012 Update

Two exciting updates from Instituto Colombiano de Beinestar Familiar (ICBF): Spence-Chapin was re-accredited by ICBF this past summer and the organization has recently appointed a new Director General, Diego Molano Aponte. Molano Aponte was the Presidential Advisor for Social Action and has been one of the pioneers of the Social Action Programs and Red States in Colombia. In addition, he leads the Government’s efforts to eradicate poverty.
Spence-Chapin is currently exploring a unique summer host-to-adopt program for children 8 and older.  If you believe that an older child (or siblings) would be good fit for your family, this could be an opportunity for you.  We believe in the resiliency and adoptability of older children who are in need of permanent and loving homes.  For more information, please call 212-400-8150.
