No. While we work closely with adoption agencies, we are a crowdfunding platform that steps in to help families after they have started the adoption process.
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a simple idea. Individuals help reach big goals by donating small amounts. When it comes to adoption, it takes a village, and crowdfunding is a powerful way to bring children home to forever families.
Do you work with foster adoptions?
We passionately support families that are fostering and pursuing foster to adopt. Because the costs of those types of adoption are typically low there is not a large financial need that makes crowdfunding necessary. Our hope is that as we share stories demonstrating the power of adoption that interest in all types of adoption grows.
