Join us in making a difference.

For almost fifty years, Northwest Adoption Exchange has been helping youth share their voice and connecting future families!

Generous donors—like you—have helped us go the extra mile to develop our nationally recognized In-Depth Profile model for youth. This youth-centered model ensures young people in foster care are seen for who they truly are—resilient, talented, and full of potential.

Consider Mason’s journey. Hesitant to be filmed for a video, Mason chose a podcast-style format for his profile, where he shared his interests, dreams, and hopes for the future. This format let his friendly and engaging personality shine through. Not long ago, we received the news we’d been waiting for—Mason was placed with a family who connected with him through his profile! Visit our website at nwae.org/profiles to watch current profiles.

Consider Liz and Brian’s path. When Javier reviewed family profiles, he chose Liz and Brian—a board game-loving couple with ties to his Salvadoran heritage and Spanish language. Having his voice heard helped Javier find a home where he feels understood, accepted, and loved.

Your support makes connections like these possible!

Every child deserves the love and security of a family, and with your help, we’re creating innovative, youth-driven programs that are making a lasting difference.

By giving today, you empower youth like Mason and Javier to find supportive, loving homes and inspire families to open their hearts.

Together, we can build a future where every child has the love and stability of a permanent family.
