    Every year, we help fund an adoption.

    November is national adoption month, and this year we're helping another family bring their adoptive child home! Using the power of story and crowdfunding, we've fully funded 9 adoptions since 2016 for special families just like yours!

    Here's how it works:

    Thanks for your interest in our Adopt With FTN Campaign! Over the past nine years, we've successfully funded nine adoptions during our adoption campaign. This year, we're committed to supporting yet another adoption, and it could be yours! Adopt with FTN is a story-telling campaign with two purposes: to help fund adoptions and to help increase awareness during National Adoption Month.

    The campaign is built on two stages: The Awareness Round, and The Fundraising Round.

    The first stage of our campaign is the Awareness Round. Each family invites their community to rally around them by casting a free vote. This round is all about sharing your story, raising awareness, and surrounding your adoption journey with encouragement. The ten families with the strongest show of support move forward to the next round.

    In the Fundraising Round, each top-ten family will create a short video sharing their adoption story. These stories will be spread through a massive social media and word-of-mouth campaign, rallying friends, family, and communities far and wide. Supporters ‘vote’ by purchasing a limited-edition Chosen t-shirt or sweatshirt. Every shirt sold both spreads awareness and directly funds adoption expenses. At the close of this round, the family with the most community support will receive full funding for their adoption, with any remaining funds being spread to the other nine families.
