The New York Foundling - Adoption and Legal Services

A child loses her mother to drugs. Another is neglected by a parent who is simply unable to provide for him. The Foundling has found permanent, safe and loving adoptive homes for thousands of children over our long history. We seek to address the individual needs of each child to assure he can receive the support he needs from his new family. And we always consider whether a “kinship adoption” by a close relative is possible and appropriate. Our staff also monitors and coaches both the child and prospective adoptive family throughout the process to ease the transition, evaluate its effectiveness and assure the best “fit” possible. In every case, our goal is for every child who is unable to be raised by his own family to become part of a safe and nurturing adoptive one.
