What We Face

New Solutions in Adoption & Foster Care

Description

Downstream from the breakdown of the nuclear family and other social trends is another breakdown—of the adoption and foster care systems. The industrialization of the adoption process has created complex incentive systems that are, perhaps unexpectedly, most exploitative to the children themselves. Foster care systems have not fared much better for children, despite many well-meaning participants and a few breakthrough endeavors like Safe Families.

We're interested in ventures building new paths forward with a child-first design ethos and scalable interventions that can affect this broader challenge.
