Share in our celebration of the lives of adopted children who found forever families, and parents who found forever love.

Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul will touch your heart with stories about finding and creating a family. From stories about international orhaned babies, to children who spent years in the foster care system, to those who were adopted at birth, this very special compilation conveys the true meaning of unconditional love.

Read a moving letter from a birth mother to her son telling how difficult it was to give him up when she didn’t have the means to care for him, how she still thinks about him often, and how she will always love him. Read stories from the now-grown children, and even those from the Vietnam Operation Babylift in 1975. Through their stories you will delight in meeting happy, well-adjusted, grateful members of families and society.

Take pleasure in stories of infertile couples who are given the gift of parenthood, adopted children who thrive and find joy in life, and older couples given a second chance at family. Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul provides insight into what adoption is all about, and what it’s really like to be adopted. Share in our celebration of the lives of adopted children who found forever families and parents who found forever love.

A portion of the proceeds from Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul is donated to HELPING AND LOVING ORPHANS (HALO).

HELPING AND LOVING ORPHANS (HALO), founded in July 2000, believes that the world’s orphans should have every possible opportunity to reach their maximum potential in life through the best healthcare, education and training available. HALO’s mission is to:

  • Build and communicate awareness for orphans and needy children.
  • Research needs in education, living conditions and health, and to offer support to orphanages in Vietnam, Colombia, Mexico, Afghanistan and other developing countries.
  • Procure funds and grants for orphan and children projects.

In Vietnam, HALO built an annex, nursery and a vocational school, arranged surgery for babies with cleft palates by teams of U.S. surgeons, contributed transportation and library, built homes for the lepers, provided food for orphans, and created vocational schools. In Columbia, HALO helped handicapped children, provided the salary for a physical therapist and arranged transport of children to Miami for surgery. In Afghanistan, HALO provided vitamins for orphans and contributed $1,000 per month for a Physical Therapy Clinic and blankets for the maternity hospital. In Mexico, they purchased mattresses and pillows and installing a new roof on an orphanage. HALO made donations to the police and firefighters of New York City after 9-11 and apartments and day care to Katrina victims.
