Gifts In-Kind
Travel Related
Travel expenses can be 10 to 30% of the final costs an adopting family must cover. Families adopting domestically often travel across the country to be by their baby’s side during an extended stay in a hospital. Internationally, some countries require multiple trips and long stays in the country before an adoption can be completed. In-kind donations of lodging, air travel, restaurant or gas gift cards would help to cover some of these final expenses.
Event Support
Silent and Live Auction donations greatly impact the success of the dozens of events Gift of Adoption holds across the country each year. Check out our “Upcoming Events” section to find an event for your in-kind donation.
