Founded in 1983, The Adoption Exchange is a non-profit child welfare organization working for safety and permanence in the lives of foster children. Believing that every child deserves a loving family, The Adoption Exchange acts as the link between children waiting in foster care and adoptive families. Providing expertise and support before, during, and after the adoption process, the organization recruits families for children who have survived abuse and neglect as well as trains child welfare professionals.
The Adoption Exchange began as an exchange point for caseworkers to discuss placement of children with families looking to adopt in the Rocky Mountain region. Today, The Adoption Exchange impacts national trends in child welfare and connects children in eight member states (Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming) with American families living in the US and abroad.
Since its inception, The Adoption Exchange has helped place nearly 6,700 waiting children in permanent adoptive homes. The non-profit envisions a world where all children are loved and grow up in safe and permanent families.
