Families Ready to Adopt:

Yes, We Do Adopt!

Are you looking for people of color who are ready and eager to become adoptive parents?

Are you expecting a child of color and considering adoption? You should have the choice to find adoptive parents who share your child’s racial or ethnic identity. When you visit most adoption websites, what you see are mainly white families. Prospective parents of color want you to know: “Yes, We Do Adopt!” These sites spread the myth that placing your child with a family of color is not an option. That’s just not true! Here at Pact, you can always find families of color who are ready and approved to adopt. Click on the profiles below to learn more!
