Spence-Chapin Services to Families and Children is a non-profit organization that has been providing adoption and adoption support services for over a century. The Spence-Chapin Way is to provide guidance and support to children, women, and families throughout all our program areas.
Our work is made possible due to the generosity of our supporters. Learn more about the impact a contribution can make on the lives of those we serve!
Begin your adoption journey with confidence and ease. Our expert team of professionals will guide you every step of the way, from home study to placement, and everything in between.
If you or someone you know is facing an unplanned pregnancy and don’t know where to turn, Spence-Chapin can help. Our caring and compassionate experts will talk you through all of your options. We offer free, unbiased, and confidential counseling and community resources for expectant parents.
Spence-Chapin is committed to the welfare of children and families. For more than 25 years, Spence-Chapin has been ensuring for the care and support of vulnerable children through our Granny and Special Needs Adoption Programs. In recent years, Spence-Chapin has added our Project Play initiative, Holiday Angels Program, and other humanitarian aid efforts during the pandemic and beyond to best support children and families around the world. Made possible by the generosity of our supporters, each program uniquely provides for the needs of children and families in challenging circumstances.
Dear Future is more than just an art exhibit. It’s a movement born out of the desire to give children living in institutionalized care around the world the space to dream of brighter futures. Through a mixed-media art exhibition featuring the dreams of children from an orphanage in Cali, Colombia- incorporating video, audio, photography, and costume design- we hope to raise awareness about the importance of supporting vulnerable children through the Granny Program, a global initiative doing just that.
Join us in New York City at various pop-ups in 2024 for the viewing of Dear Future. This is the start of a movement created to show that supporting the dreams and futures of children living in orphanages not only matters—
For more than 110 years, Spence-Chapin has been committed to our mission that every child deserves a family, and has worked toward our vision of a world where every child belongs, adoption is a celebrated choice, and all families are embraced. Today, we are taking another step closer to that vision by expanding into the state of Arizona. Beginning in 2024, Spence-Chapin will be offering comprehensive Birth & Expectant Parent Services, home study services, and a full-service Domestic Adoption Program through our new regional office in Tucson, Arizona. We will continue to provide the same high-quality and comprehensive programs and services throughout New York and New Jersey.
Don’t miss an episode of Spence-Chapin’s podcast about all things adoption—Adoption Talk by Spence-Chapin!
There are many voices that make up the adoption constellation. This podcast aims to hear from all of them because each voice brings an important perspective and story about adoption.
This podcast brings you conversations with adoptees, birth parents, adoptive families, adoption professionals and health and social service experts as they share their experiences and discuss all things adoption . Let’s get started.
This film, Every Step of the Way, premiered at the Spence-Chapin 2022 Gala and chronicles the adoption journey of a family from the moment the birth mother meets with adoptive parents, to the adoptee’s high school graduation. While this film depicts just one journey, Spence-Chapin is there to provide support for all of the unique journeys of adoption, and beyond.
For more than 110 years, Spence-Chapin Services to Families and Children has supported thousands of children, women, and families. Throughout that history, we have always strived to ensure that our services and programs evolve as the communities we serve change and grow, and that we are able to respond to the needs of children, whatever their challenges or circumstances. What began as two small nurseries providing care for infants and growing families to adoption, is today an expansive community and family services organization with a global reach. We felt it was time that our logo and brand reflected that.
