AASK America, Adopt A Special Kid Our fundamental belief is that all children have the right to be part of a permanent family-- one that is able to provide each child with care and nurture they need and deserve. In support of that belief, AASK America was founded over 30 years ago to promote the legal adoption of "hard-to-place" children. We accomplish this mission through public education, collaboration, and by bringing together qualified families from all walks of life with licensed agencies that have children to place.
