• Fewer trauma symptoms
• Less delinquency and involvement in the juvenile justice system
• Higher rates of permanency
• Higher quality of life​

Support the Kids

This program requires a lot of support from our community. Our two cohorts will meet weekly and we need your help to provide meals. If you've been looking for a way to support the work Adoption Options does, this is the one for you. Volunteers will organize and deliver dinner for 8 youth and their mentors.
