Mission Statement
Liberty Adoption Advocates is a private, non-profit organization that gives financial assistance to adopting families. We help families with both domestic and international adoptions. We help families adopting children from the foster system, and we assist families who are adopting children in cases initiated by the birth parents and adopting parents alike. We are a 501c3, and a local charity.
About This Cause
Liberty Adoption Advocates is a charitable organization, corporation, and non-profit pubic charity providing financial assistance to adopting families. We have already paid the fees required to enable several low-income families to complete their families through adoption. Some adoption agencies charge different fees based on the age and race of the children. We hope to see a law requiring a flat fee that cannot be arbitrarily changed by the agency. As of April 20, 2014, Washington State is legally responsible for financially supporting 10,207 children. Of those children, 1,564 are legally free--which means parental rights for their biological parents have been legally terminated—so those children can be adopted. The bottleneck is many families cannot afford attorney, court, or agency fees up front. Liberty Adoption Advocates’ average amount given on behalf of adopting families last year was $1100 per family. Every year, kids age out of the foster system. Studies show foster kids are moved multiple times. Statistically, it is sometimes because court fees are not in grasp of the foster parents or relatives caring for them. Studies show that every time a child is moved to a new home, their brain regresses approximately six months developmentally. Our mission is to give children permanency in safe, healthy families.
