_x000D_ _x000D_The first objective is to take abandoned children off the streets and give them a befitting home. Baliz Orphanage Foundation structurally is a haven in every measure.

_x000D_ _x000D_They are reintegrated into society through adoption and fostering to deserving and loving families. There is also reconciliation to extended family members. So far the exercise has yielded great results. In the beginning we appealed through the media for Nigerians to come forward to adopt but as at today the orphanage has a waiting list of adopters yearning for children!
_x000D_ _x000D_One of our greatest achievements is the impact we have made on adoption by raising the rate of adoption in Lagos State and by enforcing through interaction and motivation the procedures for adoption.
_x000D_ _x000D_The best service one can render to God is to raise up a child in his name to walk in his ways. God is the first to have adopted. He adopted us into his heavenly family through his son Jesus Christ! This is why we must do the same and take every single child away from the streets into the security of a Godly home.It is still unbelievable that a mother would carry a baby for nine months and after going through the near death experience of giving birth she decides to throw the baby in a pit or dump the baby in a dustbin. Our first abandoned baby was brought to the orphanage in a polythene bag. We were shocked! Today that baby is enjoying the love and comfort of a loving family through adoption. Presently, all Babies in Little Saints Orphanage get adopted within a few months. Glory to God!
_x000D_ _x000D_Little saints' orphanage does not charge a single naira for adoption. Ours is a call to serve humanity.The next step for Nigerians to take is towards fostering on a larger scale . We hope to improve on this in our next stage of impact. When children are brought to us from the streets we seek out extended families for reconciliation, some times we find them but most times we don’t.
