The Adoption Foundation: Give a Child Back Years of Their Childhood

The Adoption Foundation: Give a Child Back Years of Their Childhood

Nearly 70,000 children in foster care are waiting to be adopted. On average, they will wait about three years for a family, and some will never be adopted.

For some children, that wait could have been avoided.

Private adoption can allow a child to go directly to a loving family instead of entering foster care. By helping expectant parents and the professionals who support them understand this option earlier, we can help more children find a family in days instead of years.

What Your Support Makes Possible

Your support helps us educate expectant parents and professionals about private adoption, build partnerships that reach more families, and provide support to the adoption community.

This year, that work helped 8 children go directly to adoptive families instead of entering foster care, potentially giving back 24 years of childhood that otherwise could have been spent waiting.

You can help a child find a family in 3 days instead of waiting 3 years.

Give Your Time

There are other ways to make a difference, too.

• Share Your Story: Your adoption experience can help someone else understand what is possible.
• Talk With Other Families: Your perspective can encourage families considering adoption or navigating life after placement.
• Leave a Google Review: Sharing your experience helps more people searching for adoption information find real stories from families like yours.
