sponsor a child through world vision

Since my wife and I are expecting a baby very soon, I thought it might be a neat idea to sponsor a worldvision child with the same birthdate. I haven’t done the research yet, so I’m not sure if newborns are available to sponsor. So we may have to wait a year or so before we can choose someone. Wouldn’t it be great for our son to meet someone who his family has helped through the years??
