Gift of Adoption Fund in Northbrook achieves a milestone GiftofAdoption
Northbrook-based Gift of Adoption recently helped unite its 5,000th child with a family since it was founded in 1966.
It is not an adoption agency. Through contributions from thousands of donors it provides grants of up to $15,000 to help bridge the cost of adoptions that may reach $50,000 due to agency fees, legal and travel costs, and home-study expenses. "We're really focusing on children who have one shot or maybe their last chance at adoption," Devereux said.
"We are very happy to be part of an organization that helps bring so many children home, and 5,000 is a huge milestone," Nicole Gonzalez said."It's awesome that we've also launched them into the future, to bring 5,000 more home, so we're really proud to be part of that."David Gonzalez naturally speaks the boys' language, a first-generation American whose mother was born in Columbia and father in Mexico.
