Called to Make a Difference on World Adoption Day
Every child deserves the stability, safety, and love that only a family can provide. On this World Adoption Day, we’re reminded that every year thousands of young people age out of foster care without the support of a family to guide them into adulthood, leaving them without the essential stability and love they deserve.
Why Children Need Stability
For many children, the security of family life can seem out of reach. From the simplicity of daily routines to the emotional support of a caring adult, children need the consistency that only family can provide. Being part of a family means having someone who will stand beside you through life’s milestones and challenges, a foundation that helps children develop the confidence, resilience, and connection they need to thrive.
How You Can Help
There are many ways to support vulnerable children, even if adoption or fostering isn’t your calling. You can become part of a child’s village by:
Supporting Adoption Grants – Your donations help ease the financial burden for families pursuing adoption, giving more children a chance at a permanent, loving home.
Assisting Foster and Adoptive Families – Volunteer with Dwell and help provide essential resources and encouragement to foster, kinship, and adoptive parents.
Spreading Awareness – Share stories and information with others to help bring awareness to the need for permanent families.
Meet Families Making a Difference
One family who has benefited from Dwell’s adoption grant program, the Umsteads, have opened their hearts and home to 3 children in need through international adoption. Their journey isn’t without challenges, but they believe children deserve a place to call home. They—and countless other families like them—are answering the call, and with your support, they’re able to bring children into safe, loving environments.
