Yesterday, we spent a beautiful day at the exceptional Meadow Brook Club for our 2026 Golf Classic, filled with celebration and support for all of our impactful programs and services. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make the day possible, especially our Golf Committee and our presenting sponsor, The Boisi Family Foundation.

Spence-Chapin’s Host-to-Adopt Program is a unique adoption pathway for Colombian children ages 10–13 who are waiting for a permanent family.

This winter, from December 1–28, children will spend the holiday season with host families in the U.S., giving them the opportunity to experience the warmth of family life while building meaningful connections that lead to adoption.

For many of these children, hosting may be their last opportunity to find a forever family before they age out of the child welfare system. Could you give a child a home for the holidays, and a family for a lifetime?

Join our Host-to-Adopt Webinar on June 22 to learn more about this life-changing program and discover whether hosting could be the next step in your adoption journey.

Jacqueline found Spence-Chapin's Mentorship Program when she was 13 years old. When she first joined as a Mentee, she couldn’t have known the profound impact the program would have on her life. Swipe to learn more ➡️

At Spence-Chapin, we work hard to ensure that there are no gaps in support for everyone in our community. For adopted people, we’ve created programming that grows with them—a space they can turn to at any chapter of their lives. Our Mentorship Programs are a special opportunity for kids starting at just 10 years old to connect with their peers and build a community that lasts a lifetime.

You can help us continue supporting adopted youth and everyone connected to adoption. Give today at spence-chapin.org/spring.

When Sheri and Andrew adopted their first daughter, Lila, a piece of their lives fell into place. But soon after, they realized they wanted another child, and Lila hoped for a sibling.

Seven years after Lila came home, Spence-Chapin called with news and a question they never could have anticipated. Lila’s biological sister had just been born, and would they like to adopt her? They didn’t hesitate, and just like that, Sasha joined their family, and their dream of giving Lila a sibling came true.

Our tenacity and dedication to our families are fueled by the generosity of supporters like you. Every donation helps make stories like this possible. Help us bring more families together at spence-chapin.org/spring💗
