Welcome to
CHI FAMILY NET.
This dynamic website is thorough, yet very easy to use.
If you do not "click" on anything for 20 minutes, you will lose your security
"token" and will have to login again. This is for your protection
and ours.
Adoption Process
This section contains all necessary information to complete an adoption:
- The adoption process section contains very specific assistance and answers to
frequently asked questions. This part of the site is reserved for those members who
have entered the adoption process, either by filling out the adoption application on line,
or mailing in an application.
- These pages will guide you through the entire process based on the country you've chosen
to adopt from.
Travel
Contains the Travel Guide for the country you have chosen, details on airlines and
accommodations, how to pack, how much money to take. There's an outline of what you will
see and do and the schedule from the time you are met by your CHI Coordinator to the time
she will see you off at the airport when the adoption is finalized.
Post-Adoption
This portion of the site will guide you in matters after the adoption is
completed. Medical recommendations, family and social adjustments, how to get a
birth certificate, becoming a citizen, getting the Adoption Tax Credit and all those other
things that must be done after you bring your child home.
Waiting Children
These beautiful children are often forgotten, but not by us. As you
reach certain levels in the adoption process, you will be allowed to view and inquire
about specific children.
Newsletter Online
This is the regular monthly CHI Newsletter online and will allow you to
stay informed about what CHI is doing and what is happening around the world in the world
of adoption.
Feedback
is invited. This is a special form that sends an e-mail message to the CHI
staff. We really want to hear from you. Let us know what we are doing right
and what you would like to see us improve on.
Adoption Application:
- Depending on your comfort level with the web, you can "click" on a copy of the
CHI adoption application and print it. This allows you to fill it out and send it to
CHI. You can print it out, and use it as a template for the on-line application.
- The on-line application allows you to fill out the application and we will receive it at
the speed of technology. Your information is kept private and only you can change
any information.
- After your application has been filled out, an e-mail message will be sent to CHI
alerting us that you have filled out an application. You will still need to sign and
mail page 4 to us, but we will be able to review your application as soon as we receive
the e-mail message.
Helping Hands
is our CHI sponsorship program. That allows you to assist children by sending
much needed funding for school, clothes, food, and medical attention.
- The Helping Hands application allows you to donate to various humanitarian projects that
CHI is involved in around the world. CHI is a licensed, not-for-profit adoption and
humanitarian agency and your record will allow you to claim all donations as tax-exempt.
- Helping Hands also sends an e-mail message to CHI. We embrace electronic commerce,
but, we still request that you mail your checks to us. This will provide you with a
backup receipt for tax purposes.
- You can also send contributions for school tuition for orphans, join us in purchasing
supplies and equipment, and in assisting families with the cost of adoption. We know you
will be blessed for giving hope and help to children..
The Personal Information Link
of the Family Net contains important items that are directly set aside for you.
The item that will always be present is the Personal Administration section:
- The Personal Admin section allows you to change all information that is directly related
to you as a member of the Family Net. You may fill in the blanks and change
information. The only thing you can't change is your user security level - this will
be changed by the web administrator based on your progress through the adoption process.
- Other items will appear on the menu bar in time. These items will include
messages, status items, and photographs of your child. These menu items are
for your viewing only.
