Children's Home Society of Minnesota

November is National Adoption Month — an important time of year to recognize adoptees, birth families and adoptive families. We are dedicated to offering comprehensive resources and support for adoptees and adoptive families at every stage of the adoption journey: before, during and after placement. 

When you contribute to Children's Home on Give to the Max Day, you're helping to unite children with loving, nurturing families. In our 2024 fiscal year, there were 340 placements in safe, caring homes through our foster care and adoption programs. Please donate now to help us carry out our vital mission all year long — you can make a gift on this site, or at chlss.org/donate. 

Thank you for your generosity!

Founded in Saint Paul in 1889, Children’s Home knows that a child in a safe, nurturing home is a child who thrives. Through domestic and international adoption programs, foster care and post adoption services, Children’s Home works to give every child security, opportunity and a loving family. We are proud to be an adoptee and BIPOC-led organization. Want to learn more about Children's Home? Visit chlss.org or find us on Facebook and Instagram.
