Americans, if you want to help underprivileged children, all you have to do is look over your fence ! We have abused and forgotten children right here in AMERICA, and the problem is growing ! 872,000 children and youth were confirmed victims of abuse or neglect in the United States in 2004. Today, more than half a million children in the United States are in foster care, placed there by public authorities because they could not live safely with their own families. Our foster care system is also neglecting American foster children. Our children cannot wait any longer for the system to fix itself. If a child enters foster care at age 5, studies show that foster child will be placed into 13 foster homes before he ages out at 18 years of age. Many foster children will age out at 18, without a soul in the world, and with no financial help. Many states pay less to care for a foster child than a kennel charges to board and feed a dog.

We strive to rescue children from the mistreatment of our government?s established foster care programs and housing. We are emphasizing our efforts to recruit nurses to care for medically fragile foster children with special needs. By doing this, we hope to provide a solution to prevent these children from being lost within a system that is continually overwhelmed by the number of special needs children. Being a 501(c) 3 non-profit foundation, your donations can be used as a non-profit tax write off. Also, your donation can be an IRS tax credit towards helping these underprivileged American children. Through Inspirational children stories and actual accounts of special needs adoption stories, we hope to generate an awareness and compassion of the need for adoption of America?s foster children. America?s increasing rate of women who choose to abuse prescription and illegal drugs during pregnancy, has caused a drastic increase in special needs adoption. The needs of these infants, who suffer the consequences of this abuse, are the reason for this heightened calling for trained nurses to assist in the physical and emotional healing process in preparation for American adoption. ?How many angels must we pass back to heaven, when on this earth we can help transform their precious lives today?? Angels in Waiting, Inc. is A Nonprofit 501(c) (3) Foundation dedicated to providing loving homes, nursing care and other needed wrap-around services to foster children and medically fragile infants and children in the foster care system.
