Safe Children Coalition, Inc.

109,000. That’s the number of children and teens waiting to be adopted who are at risk of aging out of foster care without permanent family connections. Each November, #NationalAdoptionMonth renews our commitment to creating brighter futures for our children and recognizing the individuals who make a meaningful difference in their lives. We invite you to join us in spreading awareness all month long, and if you feel called to make a difference in a child’s life through adoption, visit sccfl.org/adopt to learn more.

Tuesday, December 3rd is not just any ordinary Tuesday. It’s #GivingTuesday, AKA the opportunity of the year to join with us in support of our community’s children and families. Last year, we served over 9,300 children and families through Foster Care, Adoption, and Prevention and Diversion programs. That’s 9,300 lives changed through our mission – a mission empowered by your generosity. Your gift to Safe Children Coalition this Giving Tuesday will make a difference that lasts for years to come. It’s not an ordinary Tuesday – it’s an extraordinary Tuesday – and one you won’t want to miss. Visit sccfl.org/givingtuesday to give.

It’s #NationalAdoptionMonth right now, and at Safe Children Coalition, every month is National Adoption Month. Why? Because hundreds of children in our community need forever families. We’re on a match-making mission to find safe, loving homes for children and to ensure families starting their adoption journey have the guidance, support, and resources they need for a successful adoption. That’s where our adoption classes come into play. If you’re longing to give a child a forever home, you can take a first step this January. Call our recruitment line at (941) 724-1101 or visit sccfl.org/adopt to get started.

When you adopt a child, they adopt you too. That’s exactly what each of these families experienced when they decided to welcome a teen from foster care into their family through adoption. Listen to their stories: https://lnkd.in/dR8jKA58 If you’re ready to be adopted by a child or teen waiting for a forever home, visit sccfl.org/adopt #NationalAdoptionMonth
