Every year, we help more than 5,000 kids and families in the Miami-Dade area. We're determined to create brighter futures for our children. And we succeed. We change lives ... like Janet and Anita's. 

Giving hope and opportunities to babiesJanet and Anita

Baby Anita was abandoned at birth. She was born with several challenges that were too much for her birth mother to handle.  So she left.

While Baby Anita still struggles with developmental delays, she has a loving home with her new mom, Janet.  Adopted as a child herself, Janet shares yet another unique bond as they celebrate the special way they became a family. Learn more about Janet and Anita's journey and other families we helped create through adoption.
