Funding Forever Families

Help Families Begin the Adoption Journey

Your gift can open the door to a lifetime of love!

Did you know that the average cost of adoption in the US is $20,000-$60,000 and has doubled in the last 10 years?

At Placed, we want to do our part in helping families overcome this burden!

Placed is launching a new fund to cover the cost of home studies for five hopeful adoptive families each year. You can be part of the story that starts it all! 

The Need

For many families, adoption starts with a single step: a home study.

It’s a required and often expensive part of the process, costing an average of $2,000. For some families, it’s also the reason they wait, pause, or give up.

At Placed, we meet these families every day. They are eager to adopt, prepared to love, and held back by cost. That’s why we created the Funding Forever Families campaign.

How it Works

  • Five $2,000 grants will be awarded annually

  • Recipients are chosen at random from families who attend Placed’s free adoption education sessions

  • Recipients must be pursuing domestic infant adoption, foster care adoption, or intercountry adoption.

Every dollar raised goes straight to this fund, making adoption more accessible, equitable, and possible.
