About Us

Adoption Rhode Island is a private nonprofit organization whose mission is to create safety, belonging and permanency for adopted and foster children, vulnerable youth, and families through compassionate services, advocacy, and education.

We are an agency dedicated to improving outcomes for Rhode Island children, youth, young adults, families and professionals impacted by adoption and foster care. Our focuses include: finding families and/or lifelong connections for children, youth and young adults; providing support services to youth, young adults and families pre-post and beyond adoption; and offering education and advocacy for empower positive change in all related areas.

We are a learning organization that provides ongoing opportunities for staff, board members, interns, and volunteers to increase their awareness and understanding of current issues and best practices, which are relevant to the agency’s work. We are careful and responsible stewards of our financial resources. We are committed to maintaining a workplace that reflects and fosters these values.
