Mission Statement
Ampersand Families recruits and supports permanent families for older youth, and champions practices in adoption and permanency that restore belonging, dignity and hope.
About This Cause
Ampersand Families reconnects the community's most lonely youth; we provide them with a sense of hope by helping them find a home and people to whom they can belong. We do this in a way that treats youth with dignity they have often been denied while living in the child welfare system. Ampersand Families works with prospective adoptive parents interested in creating healing homes for youth who have experienced trauma, abuse and neglect. We work with teens to engage them in the process of identifying potential families. Our work is entirely focused on fulfilling the promise made to every youth who has been removed from family due to abuse and neglect- the promise that we will as quickly and carefully as possible restore them to a family that will support them well into adulthood. Ampersand Families champions practices that make the child welfare system work better for youth and families, and is a national leader in the field of adolescent permanency.
