Why Children At Heart was started?

While adopting their daughter in February of 1994, Janice and Mark Bergeron witnessed the plight of the children they had to leave behind in the orphanage. The haunting images of the orphans replayed in their minds as they contemplated how to help them. Knowing that they could not adopt all of the world's orphaned children pointed them toward creating their own adoption agency. Their goal is to find loving families for these orphaned children and to provide humanitarian assistance to those children who are not adopted.
 
Our Mission
To find families for orphaned children. No child should be denied the opportunity to have a loving home and family
To assist orphanages with humanitarian assistance (food, medical supplies, clothing and toys) to help care for the children who are tragically left behind.
To bring children to the United States for medical care which can not be afforded them by their own country.
To find grants and funds to place in trust which will generate low interest loans for prospective parents.
  Please contact us for an information packet.

What makes us different?
We are a small agency which allows us to get to know each person/family on a first-name basis.

We are here to give you all the direction, support and post-adoption support that you need. Since we have adopted five children ourselves, we know what it is like to go through the adoption process - before, during and after.

We help you through every step of the paperwork process. We are just an office visit, phone call, or e-mail away. Contact us any time you feel you have a need.

When traveling, you are only alone while on public air transportation. Our network of facilitators, interpreters and drivers are there to serve you throughout the entire adoption process, from the time you arrive overseas until the time you come back home with your child(ren).

We try to help you locate funding to ease the financial burden of adopting.

Our network of families are always willing to assist with any questions you might have; before, during or after the adoption. We have placed infants, toddlers, children to age 12, siblings, as well as handicapped children (minor to severely handicapped).

We contact you by phone while you are overseas to check on your progress and to relay information from family members back home and vice versa. We are truly concerned that you are comfortable with the level of service we provide and that the adoption process is going smoothly. On many occasions, Mark, our Director, has traveled with the adoptive couples.

Our humanitarian effort to supply orphanages, children's homes and children's wards and hospitals with food, medicine, medical supplies, clothing, toys, etc. is equal to our effort to locate qualified parents for the orphaned children.

Adoption Programs

Presently we are facilitating adoptions from Kazakhstan.  Check our web site for updates on a Brazil program which we are developing and will initiate upon ratification of the Hague Treaty by the United States.
