Adoption Center

Adoption Center Our mission is to create permanent environments for children in foster care. Building Families. Creating Connections.

We dream of a world where every young person has forever connections to help them thrive. We’re on a mission to build permanent families, communities, and connections for youth in foster care. We focus on supporting youth in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware who are at risk of aging out of the foster care system.

🩰🎼Wednesday's Child: Brooklyn🩰🎼
Introducing Brooklyn, who is an amazing teen who is ready to shine. The moment she stepped into one Urban Movement Arts's dance studios, her eyes lit up. She was finally able to take in every movement reflected in the mirrors around her. She is truly a dancer and loves expressing herself through movement.

Brooklyn has spent so much of her life caring for others. Now, it’s her turn to be supported, encouraged, and cared for by a loving family. With the right guidance and strong role models by her side, she’s ready to keep growing and moving confidently toward a bright future. 💛

Could you be part of Brooklyn’s next chapter? Get in touch.

Special shout out to her amazing instructor, Emily! Thank you UMA Philly!

Wednesday's Child: Devon
Meet Devon at 16 who wants to become a motivational speaker, and listening to him sharing his inner strength, he will achieve that dream and so much more! He had a great night seeing his first in-person game. He also loves music, writing his own songs, baking and cooking. What he could use is a family to be there to celebrate his victories with him (and to share his cooking!). He is true to himself and his faith, and would blossom with the guidance of a family of his own. If your family would be a good fit, get in touch.

2025 was a year of connection, advocacy, and hope. 💙

Because of our community, 49 youth were featured across NBC10 Philadelphia and Bear Country Good News Magazine, giving children in foster care the visibility they deserve.

From match events to mentorship to family support, every step we take is about one goal: helping young people find permanent, loving families.

Thank you for being part of this mission!

Wednesday's Child: Gabriella
Gabby (who is now 9) is ready for a forever family.

She would do best with a family who will love her and provide their hearts and home, encorporating her into their family. The love and stimulation of a home will only help her live a meaningful life. She will need extensive medical intervention and care, but the support from her doctors, nurses, therapists, and others will be invaluable to support her in their home.

Get in touch if you to learn more about Gabby and other youth we feature on Wednesday's Child.
