Not in this case. The board, volunteers and staff (present
and former) at The National Adoption Center will take full credit for all four
decades of its existence! We are forty years old and we are proud of it!
Since our founding in 1972 our mission has been consistent –
to expand adoption opportunities for children living in foster care throughout
the United States, and to be a resource to families and to agencies who seek
the permanency of caring homes for children.
In honor of this
milestone we invite YOU to share 4 ways that you have impacted a child.
Ok, we’ll start…
- We have found homes for 23,000 children since 1972
- We are currently working hard on behalf of children like 11 year old Aphrodite who wants a loving home to call her own
- We helped provide holiday gifts for children in foster care through the generous partnership with local Wendy’s franchises
- Due to our weekly WednesdayChild features on NBC10, 12 year old Nadir had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be on the court while the Philadelphia 76er’s held their practice, throw some hoops with host Vai Sikahema, and meet some of his favorite players including Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young, and Louis Williams!
Ok, now it’s your turn……

Four ways I've impacted a child(ren):
1) I tell my sons I love them everyday
2) I allow my sons to be curious learners and take risks in life
3) I am there for my sons when they fall
4) For the past decade I have been working in the child welfare sector helping children find safe and loving homes.
