Why adopt from foster care?

Every child deserves to grow up with a family that will be there for them through all of life’s successes and challenges. At Adopt America Network, we are dedicated to helping find permanency for the children in foster care.

Many children in foster care have experienced grief and loss, have lived through extreme neglect and abuse. Adopt America Network finds families that are able to provide stable homes with forever support.
