Hi, I'm Stecy

I'm a girl, 4 years old and live in Uganda.

September 1, 2018

Stecy stays with her maternal grand mother who grows food for home consumption. Stecy’s mother brough her to her current home after separation with the father in order to go and work for her children. However, since she left, she has never looked back to see how her children are living. Grandmother is not in position to sustain Stecy at school since she has no source of income but at least able to provide her with food, shelter and health care.

She is in good health.

Stecy is the 2nd born of two children. Her grandmother, current caregiver can only meet her food, shelter and healthcare but finding difficulty to support Stecy with her education.

How sponsorship helps this child

Sponsorship FAQ

Sponsor Letters

Support a child for $39 per month

When you become a sponsor, your sponsored child will be matched — one to one — with an advocate who regularly meets with the child and their family or caregivers to create a long-term plan for stability and ensure their needs are met. Through rigorous, holistic and child-centered approach to sponsorship, you will help create a lasting, meaningful difference in your sponsored child’s life.

Economic Empowerment

Your sponsorship gifts help your sponsored child’s whole family by providing job skills training, microloans to start small businesses, livestock and other resources to generate income.

Education

When kids are in school, they are protected from trafficking and exploitation, and they’re learning skills to escape poverty forever!

Family Reunification

As a sponsor, you can help reunite a child living in institutional care with his or her family — and provide the support and resources they need to grow strong, stable and self-reliant.

Nutrition

When children have regular, healthy meals, their bodies and minds grow strong enough to reach their dreams!

Healthcare

The cost of a doctor visit or the distance of a hospital should never prevent a child from getting the care they need!

Kinship & Foster Care

If your sponsored child is homeless or orphaned, you will help provide nurturing care in a foster home or other safe living environment.

FAQs About Sponsoring a Child

Children remain in our programs for however long it takes for them to have a safe, stable home environment and for their basic needs to be met. This can be anywhere from weeks to years. Depending on the country and program, children remain in sponsorship through varying ages, often depending on their specific needs. We work with every child and family in our programs to create a sustainable, long-term plan for the future.

While we hope that you are able to continue to support your sponsored child as long as he or she is in our program, sponsoring a child is voluntary and you may choose to end your sponsorship commitment at any time. When your sponsored child leaves our care, we will introduce you to another child from a similar program who needs your help. To cancel or change your sponsorship commitment, call 671279301 or email us at babyadoptionc@gmail.com .

Very few of the children in our sponsorship program are on track for adoption. Most of the children we serve have one or both parents — or extended family — to care for them, but are at risk of separation due to poverty, illness or other hardships. We only seek adoptive families for children who have been relinquished for adoption and cannot be reunited with their family. Sponsorship is not a pathway to adoption, but if you are interested in we are happy to send you free information.

Every child and family in our program works with an advocate — a teacher, social worker or Baby Adoption Center staff member — to prepare an update 2-3 times per year. This update may be a letter, photo or drawing from your child, or a note from their advocate. Additionally, you will have opportunities to send special cards throughout the year, and you are welcome to write to your sponsored child through your personalized sponsorship account. to read more about corresponding with your sponsored child.

Baby Adoption Center strives to maintain a low cost of operation, and in 2020, 71% of donations went directly toward services for children, families and communities. We are always working to increase this percentage. By opting for paperless statements and automatic withdrawal of donations, you help us cut the cost of printing and processing.

Directly giving the cash amount of your sponsorship donation to your child’s family may seem like a fast and easy way to help, and on occasion we do give cash to help families meet immediate identified needs. But in our more than 65-year history, we have found that the key to helping families achieve lasting stability and self-reliance is through tools and resources that empower them over the long term.

In addition to providing food, clothing and school supplies for your sponsored child, we put your sponsorship donation toward programs such as job skills or small business training as well as education in positive parenting, health and nutrition, and saving for the future. We then guide and support parents as they learn, grow and create a more stable life for their children.

If your sponsored child lives in a care center or foster family, your sponsorship donation provides supplies such as formula and food to help meet your sponsored child’s needs. Whether your sponsored child lives with their family or in care, our on-the-ground staff closely tracks their progress — ensuring they have everything they need to grow and thrive.

Because of the unique needs of the children in our programs, the cost to care for each child is often higher than $39 per month. Children often have special medical or physical needs, are orphaned or displaced, and/or live in extreme poverty and difficult-to-reach rural areas. For this reason, most children in our programs receive support from more than one sponsor. We pool all sponsorship gifts, which allows us to serve even more children each year in the most cost-effective ways.

Dear Sponsor

When you sponsor a child through Baby Adoption Center, your monthly gifts help provide everything a child needs to reach their potential in life — from food, shelter and education to the nurturing care of a devoted family or caregiver.

Over time, you may also build a relationship with your sponsored child by corresponding through our Baby Adoption Center Sponsor Center. Children may send letters or artwork to share about their lives and express their gratitude. Here are letters two children wrote for their sponsors in the U.S.
