November is National Adoption Month, a time to celebrate the families formed through adoption, recognize the many children and youth still waiting for permanent, loving connections, and raise awareness about the importance of belonging.
At Raise the Future, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow up surrounded by people who show up, believe in them, and never give up. Adoption can be one path to that lifelong connection, and there are many ways each of us can make a difference in the lives of children and youth impacted by foster care.
Whether you're considering adoption, looking for ways to support adoptive families, interested in becoming a mentor or advocate, or simply want to learn more, there is a place for you to get involved.
This National Adoption Month, help us celebrate the power of family, connection, and belonging. Explore the resources below to learn more and discover how you can make a difference.

Behind every thriving child is someone who chose to care. For youth in foster care, that “someone” can be hard to find — but Raise the Future is changing that. We work to connect every young person with at least one trusted adult who offers support, stability, and love.

Foster. Adopt. Mentor. Volunteer. Give.
It only takes one. You can be that one.
Raise the Future believes every young person deserves to go through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side. So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past.
Because to truly raise the future, we must raise the bar for what it means to support vulnerable youth and families as they navigate life.
