Over 120,000 children in the United State’s foster care system have a goal of adoption. Each year 50% of these children will be adopted, leaving 60,000+ to wait year after year without achieving that goal.
Helping children achieve permanency through adoption is vital for achieving best outcomes. Sadly for children with a goal of adoption and no identified family to adopt them, the clock is ticking to be adopted before they age out of care. Nationally, an estimated 20,000 young adults will age out of care each year -leaving them vulnerable to being trafficked, incarcerated, or becoming homeless.
Families make all the difference. It’s our goal to ensure every child who dreams of being adopted achieves that goal and have partnered with Adoption-Share to help expand their Family-Match application to new states.
