Join the Mission: Make a Difference Without Adopting

Become a Reading Program Ambassador

Step into a leadership role and bring meaningful change to your school. May is National Foster Care Month, and 1 in 25 students is adopted. Thousands of students have a connection to foster care and adoption, yet these topics are rarely discussed in classrooms.

The Foster Care Adoption Awareness Reading Program is a free, ready-to-use initiative that helps children build empathy and understanding while engaging in meaningful literacy experiences.

By becoming a Reading Program Ambassador, you’re doing more than inviting others to teach a lesson—you’re starting conversations that matter, fostering empathy, and shaping how students understand adoption and family.

Create a Supportive Workplace for Adoption

A supportive workplace can be the key to helping a family begin their forever family journey. Encourage your company to offer adoption-friendly benefits, such as financial assistance and parental leave for adoptive families. These benefits can make a life-changing difference for employees considering adoption.

Donate to Help More Kids Find Families

Your donation provides essential resources—like courses, books, and outreach—to help more families navigate the foster care adoption journey. Every gift brings a child closer to a forever family.
