Adoption is one powerful way to help end orphanhood—by welcoming children who cannot live with their biological families into nurturing homes. 
 
At World Without Orphans (WWO), our vision is for every child to grow up in a safe and loving family and to know their Heavenly Father.  Many WWO leaders are adoptive parents themselves or work to equip and support families on the adoption journey.  

Alex Ilie, an adoptive father who led Romania Without Orphans for a decade, shares that adoption is both beautiful and challenging. He explains how the movement in Romania is working to ensure every child has a mother and a father—and why the Church plays a vital role in supporting adoptive families.
