There are precious children just waiting to be adopted, which gives men and women who are unable to conceive a chance of having their dreams become a reality.

Briefly.co.za learnt that for all those children who have been abandoned, the process of adoption allows them to have a home filled with love and to have a parent there to guide them.

Children who are now favourite celebrities in South Africa were once in the situation of waiting for adoption.

Sipho “Psyfo” Ngwenya, was born on 25 July, 1982. Now a TV personality and rapper, Sipho was adopted when he was 11 years old. June Kraus took Sipho in after his mom, who was a domestic worker, passed away. June went through the channels and adopted Sipho.

Born on 2 October, 1994, Shekhinah, Idols SA contestant and songstress, was a child who was abandoned when she was only a baby. Phil Donell adopted Shekhinah as an infant.
