About adoption: We believe strongly that every child should grow up in a loving family of their own.  While FHC is not an adoption agency and does not process adoptions, we do cooperate with the Ecuadorian government's national and international adoption program.  Through adoption, the majority of the children at FHC will have "forever" families. There are North American and European adoption agencies that are authorized to direct adoption programs in Ecuador.   Please contact FHC for the names of adoption agencies licensed to process adoptions in Ecuador. In order to adopt a child from Ecuador, the adoption must be processed by an Ecuadorian approved agency.  Private adoptions in Ecuador are illegal.
