Every child deserves a place to belong, and a family to call their own.

At this year's gala, we introduced Stefany and the Fields-Kuehl Family. 🩷

After years in foster care, Stefany was featured on our Heart Gallery and on NBC Washington's Finding Families segment with Melissa Mollet.

The Fields-Kuehl Family saw her story on the news and adopted her just before her 16th birthday. Today, she is thriving in a home filled with love, safety, and stability.

Nationwide, 85,000+ children are waiting to be adopted and are at risk of aging out of foster care without a permanent family. Your tax-deductible gift ensures that children like Stefany don't face the future alone.

Our Story

Since 1990, Adoptions Together has helped more than 10,000 children join loving, permanent families. Every child who has come to us has become part of a permanent loving home. Each year, we help more than 150 infants and children join nurturing, stable homes. We provide prenatal support and counseling for pregnant women considering adoption services as well as interim care and placement for infants and children in need. Annually, we guide and support more than 300 pregnant women to help them make the best decision for their child. We also work with local social services departments to find permanent homes or connections for older children in foster care.

Adoptions Together is committed to building and strengthening secure, loving families. One of the agency’s guiding principles is inclusivity: factors such as race, religion, marital status, wealth or sexual preference, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression don’t determine what kind of parent someone will be and they are never variables that we consider when finding a home for a child. Through openness, honesty and communication we work with every family to ensure that they receive the education, support and guidance they need through the entire placement process. We understand that no decision in this process is an easy one, and we stand by our commitment to children and their families to help all those involved make the best choice for the child.

Adoptions Together is far more than just an adoption agency. We are a lifelong resource for families where information, support and counseling can always be found. Adoptions Together supports children and families formed through adoption, guardianship, foster care, and kinship care with specialized services offered at locations in Maryland, Virginia and DC. Our support remains available to every family for a lifetime of guidance, education, and counseling to ensure that each family stays strong together. With a holistic network of more than three dozen innovative services that build and strengthen families, Adoptions Together is one of the most diverse nonprofit social service agencies serving the Washington/Baltimore area.We also serve as a regional center of knowledge and activity on child welfare issues for a broad spectrum of educational, mental health, and other professionals as well as legislators, public officials, and the general population.
