Testimonials
"Raise the Future staff understands us as two gay dads and makes us feel safe. Our family feels just as valued and protected as any other."
When the Prince family discovered a sibling group of six in need on the Raise the Future Children’s Gallery, they knew their family was about to grow. Today, Lanasia, Chris, Kyle, Dana, Marcella, and Armani have the family they’ve always dreamed of. "We’ve not only changed their lives but ours as well. The ripple effect is life-changing for generations."
After a meeting with her child’s therapist, one adoptive mother shared her gratitude for Raise the Future's support: “I don’t know what I’d do without you! You understand my concerns and know how to help.”
After five years in foster care, Isaiah finally has a family: "They are my family, and I am their son. I finally know what it means to feel safe, happy, and hopeful!"
Brooke, a mother of five, shared her story: “We had four biological sons and felt complete. But a small voice kept urging us to keep going. So, we adopted our beautiful 12-year-old daughter, Hannah, and our family grew in ways we never expected.”
To connect youth waiting in foster care with the adults who become stable forces in their lives, and to support those relationships so that they last for a lifetime.
Raise the Future, originally known as The Adoption Exchange, has been transforming the lives of foster youth since 1983. Based in Colorado and active across seven states, the organization has helped over thousands of children find stable, loving adults who show up for these youth everyday.
Children in foster care often face immense challenges: they are frequently survivors of trauma, older, or part of minority or sibling groups. Without adoption, they risk aging out of the system at 18, leaving them vulnerable to homelessness, poverty, and other hardships.
Permanent adult connections offer these children a chance to thrive, providing them with stability, improved health, and a pathway to a brighter future.
