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.
Today’s movements protesting racial injustice and demanding equal rights are global and diverse. White allies of these causes are eager to understand the issues that plague black communities and the impact of white privilege. How can I become an effective ally? How do I learn to recognize and confront the micro-aggressions that black people deal with every day? How do I educate my children, my family members, and friends? Please join us for a moderated conversation in which these questions and more will be discussed, and practical tools will be shared.
Moderator: Deborah Zicht, LSCW-R, CASAC

The staff of Spence-Chapin Services to Families and Children are outraged at the murder of George Floyd and pained by the targeted violence against communities of color over countless years. The urgency for real change in how we interact with each other as a diverse society is evident. As an adoption organization that has brought families and children of so many cultures together for over 100 years, we support all peaceful activity to acknowledge that black families matter, black children matter, and black lives MATTER.
We are all in this challenging and critical time together. We are planning future conversations where you can share your thoughts and concerns. Please visit spence-chapin.org/black-lives-matter for updates.
We are working diligently to provide our community with the same quality programming and services they expect from Spence-Chapin during the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that this is a difficult time for many of the women, children, and families we serve and we want you to know that we are here for you. We have lowered barriers to accessing virtual coaching sessions with our licensed social work counselors; are continuing to process new adoption applications and are waiving fees for international adoption applications; are able to start your home study process at a reduced rate. We are also excited to offer our first virtual Bagels & Blox and Play Cafe for children and families! To continue to learn about these programs and more, please sign up for our temporary weekly update email. You can also continue to check our COVID-19 Updates page for current information. We are all in this together!
