Adoption Services

"The New York Foundling has received the highest score possible in the most recent evaluation of all New York City adoption programs."
— BILL BACCAGLINI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Putting all the Right Pieces Together
The Foundling's rich history of saving abandoned babies and subsequently placing them in loving homes has evolved to now serve children who have spent much of their young lives in the foster care system. Our strong belief that all children deserve to be cherished by a family drives our search for nurturing homes. Every child freed for adoption-from newborn to age 18-is carefully screened to be matched with adoptive parents. The adoption process includes thorough background checks and home studies as well as a series of meetings to ensure the best fit for all parties. Renowned for its excellence, The Foundling's Adoption Services consistently ranks among the top provider of adoptions finalized each year.
