Wide Horizons for Children, Inc.
Wide Horizons For Children, an international child welfare organization that helps the most at-risk children worldwide survive and thrive.
Our guiding principle is that every child deserves a family. If a child is already without a family when we first meet them, our priority is to help build a nurturing family for them. And that is a responsibility we have taken very seriously for half a century. The organization that eventually became Wide Horizons For Children started as a feeding center in Saigon during the Vietnam War, with a sole focus on caring for babies that had been orphaned by the conflict. Since then, we have 50 years of experience in placing children in loving homes through adoption.
With this track record, you know you can trust Wide Horizons if you’re looking to grow your family through adoption. We work with families across the United States to provide loving homes to vulnerable children from the countries where we work.
Adoption may be the most important, life-changing decision you’ll ever make. We don’t take the responsibility of building families lightly. Wide Horizons has been dedicated to the well-being and security of vulnerable and orphaned children for 50 years.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Your local DCF or foster agency offers various services for foster children and families. Parents have access to training and educational resources as well as support groups.
Foster children also have health insurance covered. The DCF provides foster families with a stipend to cover care needs like food and board. The state also offers a clothing allowance every three months that helps to reimburse parents.
A case worker visits resources families every other month or as needed, and children in foster care are also assigned a social worker. These resources are invaluable points of contact for foster parents.
Local support organizations provide further support, such as resources and helplines. Foster families in Massachusetts also form groups to assist one another, share stories, and give advice. It's an excellent opportunity to create new connections and learn more as a parent.
