GoAdoption Giving Circle

A waiting child
A loving family
A chance to unite them forever

There are an estimated 140 million orphaned and abandoned children worldwide. The vast majority live without adequate food, water, and shelter. All live without the one thing children need and deserve most to thrive - a family of their own. Through the Gift of Adoption GoAdoption Giving Circle program, you have a chance to change that.

You can make the difference for one child and one family
When you form a GoAdoption Giving Circle, you will be linked to a specific family and the child they yearn to love. Your gift to this family is to raise the final funds they need to bring their child home.

This is no small deed. Because of your GoAdoption Giving Circle, a forever family will be born. Because of your GoAdoption Giving Circle, the course of one child’s life will be changed permanently for the better. Though you may never meet this family or child in person, you will come to know them deeply in spirit. To be a part of such an incredible journey is a humbling experience.

As one GoAdoption Giving Circle Leader put it, “I get it. It’s a way to get the satisfaction of adopting a child yourself, but without all the sleep deprivation!”

Each Giving Circle leader makes a pledge to raise enough money to fund one adoption grant within a 3-month period. Currently, the amount of a pledge is $3,500. These grants provide the final funds approved adoptive families need to bring their child home.

Just as every family and child is unique, the same goes for each GoAdoption Giving Circle. It is a reflection of the leader who forms it and the people who make it up.

As you give, so you receive
It is a common experience for GoAdoption Giving Circle members to say they got so much more from the experience than they gave. To be a part of a GoAdoption Giving Circle is to help the most vulnerable among us — a child without a parent. It is to know deep in your heart that one less child will go hungry, homeless and parentless... it is to know that one more child will receive the love they deserve. To be a part of a Giving Circle is a life-giving and life-changing opportunity.

You can do it and we are here to help
Gift of Adoption has partnered with FirstGiving.com to make establishing, promoting, and administering your GoAdoption Giving Circle as fun, easy, and successful as possible.
