November is National Adoption Month (NAM), a time to teach others about the adoption journey and celebrate adoption! This year, as part of National Adoption Month, Spence-Chapin is commemorating the 25th Anniversary of our Special Needs Adoption Program, which has placed more than 500 children with special needs in loving adoptive families.Â
Spence-Chapin will be sharing stories, information, testimonials, pictures, and videos from families that adopted through our International and Domestic adoption programs.
This is a challenging time for all of us. Our goal is to make it as convenient as possible for you to get in touch with our therapists online so you can receive the well-being services you need safely and and securely. To learn more, email postadoption@spence-chapin.org or call us at 646-539-2167.
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.Â
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.Â
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!Â
