orphanCare International/Dillon International

Children -- abandoned, alone, hungry -- OCI provides food, education and medical care for homeless children in underdeveloped and developing countries while offering adoption placement when possible.

How do you help people in my community?

Everywhere there are couples struggling with infertility who want to love a child. There are singles who also have the desire to be known as “mom” or “dad” to a child and families who have the desire to expand their love by one more child. We help your friends, co-workers, and neighbors attain a heart-felt goal of building their families through our international adoption services and post-adoption support.

Why do you need my support?

Even the smallest gift makes a life-giving difference to a child in a developing country. Our donors recognize that the designated dollars they give are used to make a better life for a homeless child whether it is providing food, shelter, and medical care while they await adoption or security, compassion and an education as they prepare for a better future.

How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

Approximately 8% of orphanCare International’s (aka Dillon International) annual budget is spent on administrative costs. The balance is spent on services to children awaiting adoption or who have been adopted. We are audited each year and an annual report is available to each donor who requests one. In addition we rely on volunteers to help in accomplishing many of our projects as well as the dedication of a limited professional staff who make a commitment to serve children over financial gain.

Can I Volunteer? How?

Yes, without our volunteers, orphanCare International (aka Dillon International) would not be able to accomplish as much as we are able to help waiting children. We can always use volunteer support for stuffing envelopes, filing documents, answering the telephone on special occasions, and data entry. In addition, we welcome volunteer help to spread the word in local communities about the needs of homeless children and the option of international adoption through distribution of our literature to local churches and libraries.
