Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Adopt a love story is a crowdfunding platform for adoptive families. We help families raise funds for their adoption by telling their story and promoting their journey through social media. We provide the resources to empower families to engage their community with the powerful story of why they are choosing adoption.

In 2018 adopt a love story helped several adoptive families raise funds for their adoptions through video and social media. Additionally, we raised awareness of adoption through our multimedia platform, and partnered with a variety of organizations to serve and support adoptive families. This approach allowed people across the u.s. To engage with adoption in a completely new way.
