How often does FTIA receive Waiting Children lists?
For Waiting Children from China: We have traditionally received a new Waiting Children list assigned only to FTIA approximately every 3 months. We do not know ahead of time the number of children we will receive or the needs and ages of the children. Receipt of frequent shared lists could alter the time frame for receipt of children’s files assigned only to FTIA. Lists of shared children are received several times each month. Remember, with the shared list, other agencies may identify a family and make a child’s file unavailable very quickly. For Waiting Children from Guatemala, India, or Vietnam: Occasionally we receive Waiting Children from these countries. There are no official Waiting Children programs in these countries. As the information on Waiting Children from these programs is received, the children will be added to our Waiting Children List on our website.
