Foster Care Adoption

A loving family starts with you.

Each year in Oregon, more than 7,000 children will spend at least one night in foster care. The majority of these children will return home to their family of origin. For the rest, going home is no longer an option. 

Children enter foster care for many different reasons. While it is always our first hope at Boys & Girls Aid to see children reunited with their family of origin, returning to family is not always a safe or viable option. Children in this situation become available for adoption.

Boys & Girls Aid matches children waiting in foster care with permanent, loving families. We certify adoptive families and match each child with the family that best meets their needs – now and for a lifetime.

Boys & Girls Aid is proud to work with families of any race, ethnicity, religion, marital status, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Building lifelong stability through connections to loving families, supportive adults, and nurturing environments.

Many children in foster care have experienced abuse or neglect. The children in Boys & Girls Aid’s Foster Care Adoption program need understanding, stable adults to care for them and offer a lifetime of love and support.
