Mission Statement

Gift of Adoption inspires adoption by providing grants to fund adoptions, giving children permanent, loving families and the chance to thrive.

Description

We believe a child without a family faces one of life's great tragedies. Orphanages and foster homes are not permanent solutions for the millions of children in need of families. All children deserve dignity and love through family. Gift of Adoption is dedicated to creating those families by providing funding and support for adoption.

You can support this cause through volunteering and donations. Even if you can't open your home, you can open your heart and transform a child's life.
