GOA celebrates the milestone of uniting 5,000 children with forever families
Meet Josue, Darwin, and Abraham…
The 5000th (and 5001st and 5002nd) child adopted with the help of a Gift of Adoption grant!
Thanks to Gift of Adoption supporters, national and chapter board members, industry partners and local communities throughout the U.S., Gift of Adoption has provided adoption assistance to help unite 5,000 children with families since 1996.
Josue (age 11) is a loving and protective oldest brother who loves soccer and math and dreamed of being adopted with his brothers. Darwin (age 9) is intelligent and loves to read and go to school. Abraham (age 6) is mischievous and likes to play! The boys spent 5 years in an orphanage in their birth country of Ecuador before their recent adoption by Nicole and David of Wisconsin.
Nicole and David spent two long, difficult years trying to bring their sons home. A grant from Gift of Adoption was a final piece that enabled them to unite with the boys in early 2023.
Though 5,000 lives have been forever changed through the love, stability and protection of family, we know that more children wait. Gift of Adoption is receiving more applications that ever from families who have room in their hearts and homes for children in vulnerable circumstances, but who lack the final funds to complete adoptions. Gift of Adoption is currently saying ‘yes’ to just 2/3 of qualified applicants.
Will you help us continue this work with a donation in honor of Josue, Darwin, and Abraham? Your gift will give more children permanent families and the change to thrive. And nothing is more important than that.
About Gift of Adoption
Gift of Adoption (GOA) is a national 501c3 charity that raises funds to provide grants to complete the adoptions of children in vulnerable circumstances – giving them permanent families and a chance to thrive.
Priority is placed on helping children facing what is possibly their only chance at adoption, including children at-risk of separation from siblings, entering foster care, aging-out of an orphanage or with critical medical conditions. Our grants are given without regard to age, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or marital status and are paid directly to agencies and attorneys working on the child’s behalf.
