What is the purpose and mission of Families Like Ours?
The mission of Families Like Ours, Inc. is to make change by breaking down the barriers within the adoption and foster care communities. Therefore, reducing the amount of time our children are waiting for a stable and safe forever family.
Our programs and services are designed to increase adoption awareness and help reduce the number of adoptable children in foster-care by providing a centralized resource for support, information and education to adoptive families and professionals. While our emphases are with gay and lesbian adoptive families, we welcome the diversity of all families regardless of sexual orientation and family structure.
