New Life Link is a licensed Christian Haitian adoption agency located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was established in January 1993, to provide services for prospective adoptive parents. Through adoption, NLL places orphaned, abandoned,and needy children who are in difficult situations into loving and Christian families. These families provide for the children's physical, emotional, educational, social and spiritual needs. NLL is licensed by the Ministry of Social Affairs of Haiti through the Institute of Social Well-being and of Research (IBESR).
Our mission is to rescue orphaned,abandoned, and needy children from life threatening situations and link them into a new life within christian families which provide opportunities for them to learn and to develop to their potential, becoming all that God has meant for them to be.
Our Conviction is that placing children at risk into loving and Christian families is surely a humanitarian achievement for all parties involved. This conviction is based upon the phenomenal changes that have taken place in the lives of children we have already placed in adoption. It is a very moving and touching experience. Providing these children with a well-rounded new life is the best and only permanent solution to meet the needs of our thousands of Haitian children at risk who long for a better life. Thousands of orphaned,abandoned and needy children are waiting for a miracle from above, something grand and wonderful, but totally beyond their control. They are longing to be part of a home of their own. They deserve it with dignity.
Our Commitment is to be found faithful in all of our dealings with you as adoptive parents, with our orphans, and all other persons or institutions involved in the process of adoption, God helping us.
Our care for our children takes place in a loving and warm environment until they are united with their adoptive parents. We are very pleased with our caretakers who have done so much to care for our children around the clock. Our nurses and our pediatricians are among the best in Haiti. We thank God for each and everyone of them. Our children are all medically screened for HIV, Sickle cell anemia and TB by the approved American Consulate labs and physicians. With the minimum that we have, we do the maximum for our children to receive the best care available in Haiti.
Our needs are numerous for christian families to adopt our infants, toddlers, twins, older children, and sibling groups. There is also a great need of adoptive parents for children with special medical, emotional, physical and educational needs. May you claim your own ones as God would lead you. Your family is needed for an innocent, helpless, and hopeless child at risk in Haiti.We need ONLY born again christian families, those who firmly believe in and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We need to see our children in heaven, in the glory of our heavenly Father.
Our prayer is that the Lord would touch the right families to open their hearts and their homes to offer these children opportunities to grow, to love and be loved, and to serve God. Thus, they may become productive citizens for their adoptive homeland and their native country of Haiti. Please, join us in prayer so that the Lord Jesus will open the door widely for a great number of our orphaned, abandoned, and needy children at risk to experience new life. Yes Lord, a new life not only through adoption in a land of opportunities, but also that they may be born again into the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is our earnest prayer in behalf of our children in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Our Adoptive Families
Our adoptive families are made up of married couples with no children, families with children, single and divorced women, who believe that Jesus Christ is God, the Son of God the Father and the only Lord and Savior of mankind, and apart from Him, there is no salvation. Anybody who does not personally believe in and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior , cannot adopt children from NLL.Active church membership is important to us too.
We, ourselves at NLL, are committed Evangelical Born Again Baptist Christians. We do not discriminate against other Christian groups. However, we will not place our children with certain families who call themselves Christians. Therefore, we ask that all of our prospective adoptive families to be honest with us from the very beginning. We strongly suggest that no families start preparing their dossiers without having our approval, or the approval of one of our partners HAGUE-IBESR adoption agencies. Please, do not assume that you will be approved to adopt from NLL, although we will happily and gratefully approve all qualified families who are biblically Christians.
Any persons or families who are: 1) Biblically Christians, 2) at least 30 years old ( for a married couple one of them has to be at least 30), 3) married for five (5) years or more, are automatically qualified to adopt from our NEW LIFE LINK. Single women must be at least 35 years old. There is no guarantee, but special consideration might be possible for women who are under age 35, who have a medical certificate stating that they are sterile, meaning that they can never have biological children.
The age braket is 30 through 50 years old for the oldest. However, for a married couple, if one is 49 and the other 50 years old, yes, they can adopt. As long as one of the married couple is under 50, they can adopt. Please, keep in mind if both couple over 50 years, they can adopt older children or special need children. There is no limit on the children you can adopt, as long as you can provide for their many needs.
Our service to our adoptive families is personalized, ethical and professional. There is no risk involved in losing your money or not adopting a child. Our Christian character, good reputation, tested professionalism, in-depth experience, reasonable service fees, and friendly staff, have made NEW LIFE LINK one of the fastest growing adoption agencies in the land. Still, we are very open to constructive criticism whatever it may be, especially from our adoptive parents.
So far, we have earned the trust, the respect and the friendship of all of our adoptive parents. They are our references. If you try us one time, you will get hooked with us. This is our challenge to you.
