MBA NWO Charity of the year
Adopt ameriCa network
About the charity:
Every child deserves to grow up with a family that will be there for them through all of life’s successes and challenges. At Adopt America Network, we are dedicated to helping find permanency for the children and youth in foster care.
Many children in foster care have experienced grief and loss, have lived through extreme neglect and have been subjected to abuse at the hands of adults who were supposed to protect them. Adopt America finds families that are able to help children heal and thrive by willingly and actively addressing the trauma experiences as they lovingly provide stable, permanent relationships that are so vital to the health and well-being of the children. To accomplish this important mission, we connect children with families and provide support before, during and after the family is united.
We believe that adoption and permanency is about the addition of safe, caring, loving people to the life of a child. There is simply no substitute for the unconditional support, experiences, lessons and love that a family can provide.
