Nick Silverio of Safe Haven for Newborns in Florida has asked that we spread the word of a disabled newborn in need of adoption.
Why?Catholic Charities in Florida is not currently able to assist with adoption services.
Sonya:The child, born today, has no arms, only one leg, and is missing a good portion of his jaw - but his prognosis is good. The baby was abandoned by his mother under the Florida Safe Haven law and, unless potential adoptive parents can be found quickly, the child will become a ward of the state (and, it is feared, the target of euthanasia). The Florida Department of Children and Families will not become involved unless information is obtained that may suggest some type of abuse or neglect (which is not evident at this time). Catholic Charities in Florida is not currently able to assist with adoption services.
Catholic Charities offers adoption counselling services, but does not itself adopt children. They match prospective parents with babies and children. If they don’t have anyone on their list who is willing to adopt the child (assuming this entire story is true, I cannot find a reference to it anywhere else) how is the CC’s fault? Catholic Charities does a wonderful job, but they are limited into how many babies and children they can place by the number of couples or individuals who are willing to adopt, and by the preferences of the adopting families.Sonya:
Is there any reason that Catholic Charities of Florida can assist with adoption services? May I ask what happens when people such as Lisa4Catholics actually convice women who were going to have abortions to not kill their babies but to go to term and give them up for adoption? May I ask who’s helping thsese girls since Catholic charities of Florida isn’t??
Yes, indeed wonderful news…I called Nick today and he had great news! The baby will soon be adopted! If you email him then maybe he could tell you about why Catholic Charities isn’t assisting in adoption, but I don’t know. This is a true story. I got the information from our State’s Right to Life Committee. Thank you for your concerns for this baby. This is wonderful news!
