One WHFC AP told me WHFC on two occasions offered aid/sponsorships etc. to the brith family of her children before they eventually relinquished. I was really glad to hear that.

I would be happy to discuss more detailed stuff in an e-mail ( or message on FB).<br />It is tough and extremely complicated and I am impressed as hell that you are thinking.
