Here’s How You Can Help
clear the path
Join the Mission — Without Adopting
Not everyone is called to adopt, but everyone can help clear the path for children waiting in foster care. Whether you advocate, donate, or share trusted resources, your support helps reduce confusion and move families closer to adoption.
Choose how you want to help:
Be a Voice for waiting children -
Advocate for Foster Care Adoption
You can use your voice and resources to make an impact for children waiting for their forever family! Have another way you’d like to advocate? Reach out to Marcy here.
Purchase with a purpose
Every purchase made directly funds The Forgotten Adoption Option's mission to recruit and coach families through the foster care adoption process.
Become a Reading Program Ambassador
Step into a leadership role and bring meaningful change to your school. May is National Foster Care Month, and 1 in 25 students is adopted. Thousands of students have a connection to foster care and adoption, yet these topics are rarely discussed in classrooms.
The Foster Care Adoption Awareness Reading Program is a free, ready-to-use initiative that helps children build empathy and understanding while engaging in meaningful literacy experiences.
By becoming a Reading Program Ambassador, you’re doing more than inviting others to teach a lesson—you’re starting conversations that matter, fostering empathy, and shaping how students understand adoption and family.
Create a Supportive Workplace for Adoption
A supportive workplace can be the key to helping a family begin their forever family journey. Encourage your company to offer adoption-friendly benefits, such as financial assistance and parental leave for adoptive families. These benefits can make a life-changing difference for employees considering adoption.
Donate to clear the path to adoption
Your donation helps remove the confusion and delays that keep children and sibling groups waiting in foster care.
When adults want to adopt but don’t know where to turn—or are told adoption isn’t an option—we provide clear guidance and practical tools that move families forward.
Gift the Resources
Know someone considering adoption? Give them the tools they need—books, courses, and expert guidance—to take the next step with confidence
