Buckner Kenya leads adoption efforts within the country

Buckner Kenya has emerged as the leading adoption agency in the nation. In 2017, Buckner Kenya placed 78 children with adoptive families.

That trend, known as “global permanency,” is becoming one of the most important ministries for Buckner. As inter-country adoptions to the United States have fallen dramatically in recent years, children in other countries who might have been adopted by American families are left in limbo.

That’s why Buckner is ramping up global permanency in countries where it serves. The results are taking hold and Buckner is quickly becoming the leader among U.S.-based agencies. Officials at Buckner say in-country adoption provides permanency for children who might otherwise be left in institutions or to fend for themselves. Growing the global permanency model fits Buckner’s biblical premise that children belong in families – and preferably permanent families.
