Adoption Rhode Island

For one more week, you can get free Frostys for the whole family!🍦✨

Until June 28th, just one dollar can get you a book with six FREE Jr. Frosty® coupons at participating Wendy's. Seventy-five cents of that dollar goes directly to support Adoption, Rhode Island, a private non-profit organization committed to finding families and lifelong connections for children in state care.💜

Grab a buck, get a book, and enjoy your Frosty, because every child deserves a childhood.

We have immediate daytime openings for adoptive parents to receive clinical support with our Master’s level intern.

Services are free of charge and supervised by a licensed clinician!

Moms from our Youth and Young Adult Services community joined us for a Moms Group last week! Both mothers who are parenting and mothers who are expecting were able to get together, chat, share birth stories, and share a meal. 💜

We’re so grateful to Margaret Brassard and RI Acts of Kindness for hosting a Summer Social in support of Adoption Rhode Island! 💜

Join us as we gather on the beautiful outdoor patio at Circe Prime in Cranston for an afternoon of connection, networking, and community impact.

✨ Location: Circe Prime, Cranston
✨ Date: Sunday, June 14, 2026
✨ Time: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
✨ Attire: Bright summer sunset colors
✨ Bring: An open heart and a willingness to connect

We can’t wait to spend this special afternoon with you!

It’s about that time… Save the Date for the 11th annual Duffle Bag Bash! 🎒✨

Far too often, children and youth that live in foster care or residential placements carry their belongings in a trash bag. By providing these youths with their own duffle bags or rolling suitcases, they have a way to safely transport their personal belongings when moving to a new place. Help us show them that we care!

The cost of admission to this incredible day of fun with the community is simple a brand new rolling suitcase / duffle bag or a $25 gift card.

National Reunification Month is an opportunity to honor the strength and resilience of families who have come together after separation. It also highlights the care, support, and commitment that reunification entails.

While Adoption Rhode Island primarily focuses on adoption, guardianship, and relational permanency for youth transitioning from foster care, we also actively support the vital process of reunification.

Here are some ways we facilitate this process across our programs:

Family Finding: As part of our permanency initiatives, in addition to identifying extended family members, we have worked to reconnect fathers who were eager to be involved or re-involved in their children's lives.

Supporting Older Youth and Young Adults: We help rebuild relationships with birth parents who may have faced challenges in the past. Creating opportunities for healing in these relationships is essential.

Behavioral Health and Wellness Programs: We offer clinical and parental support services that assist in the safe reunification of children and their parents.

When reunification is deemed in the child's best interest, it’s crucial that both children and families receive appropriate resources, guidance, and support tailored to their unique needs. Successful reunification can be a transformative step toward healing and growth for everyone involved.
