fostering and adoption
Fostering and adopting kids can be about creating a world of love for little + BIG humans.
Heartfelt Connections
Did you know that there are about 400,000 children in the US foster care system and that number has been declining since 2017? Each successful adoption creates a new forever family, spreading love and joy. Source
Sibling Bonds
Many siblings in foster care get adopted together, fostering lifelong bonds and shared adventures. Supporting siblings' placement ensures they embark on their journey together. Source
National Adoption Day
Every November, National Adoption Day brings thousands of adoptions to the forefront. It's a heartwarming reminder of the many families formed through adoption, celebrating the joy of new beginnings. Source

Reuniting Foster Kids with Parents
Reuniting foster kids with their parents is an important part of the foster care journey. On average, about 50% of children in foster care are eventually reunited with their birth parents. This reflects the commitment to family preservation and the opportunity for positive change. Source
