Welcome!

You don’t have to adopt a child to give him a home. Start your Gift of Adoption Giving Circle now!

There are an estimated 140 million orphaned children worldwide. On average, an adoption costs $25,000, leaving a large gap between qualified parents and children in need of families. Gift of Adoption asks you to help bridge that gap by contributing to a Giving Circle. By pooling affordable, tax-deductible gifts from many, each Giving Circle raises the money needed to fund one adoption grant. Your gifts close the gap – so a child no longer waits.

Make a contribution to any of our current Giving Circles (click on any of the links in the bottom-right corner of this window to read about the children you will be helping) or create your own Giving Circle using the resources below.
 
Gift of Adoption has partnered with FirstGiving.com to make establishing, promoting, and administering your Giving Circle as fun, easy, and successful as possible.
