My new little girl

That is so cool! I don't know anything about how child sponsorship works but it would definitely be something I'd be interested in doing. Do you ever have a chance to meet your child or anything? And how do children become eligible to receive sponsors? Sorry for all the questions - I just find it really interesting. 

Edit: I've been doing some research and I think I will do it! It's not too expensive for me and it looks like it would really help a child who needs the help. I also love that Ecuador is one of the countries involved -- I have family who have been missionaries there for over 20 years.

I don't mind questions at all! I've never had the money to visit my children, though I dream of being able to some day. But Sponsors can go visit their children if they want to and can afford the trip. And I think the requirements are a bit different for each country as far as eligibility. Income is a factor. So is age. Girls get priority. Some countries have limits as to how many kids in a household can be sponsored. I'm not sure what else. Once in the program there are certain rules they have to follow to remain eligible. Like they can't be involved with gangs or other things that may make them a threat to the organization or the other children. I believe, at least in some countries, marriage takes them out of the program as well (this may be an exception in certain areas though, I'm not sure).

And that's wonderful! One of my girls is from Ecuador! If you sponsor through CI, message me so we can connect on My Social Center!
