We’re honored to see our adoption team featured on NBC10 Philadelphia’s Wednesdays Child.

Meet Niam and Nasir - two remarkable brothers who are hoping to find a permanent, loving family where they can grow, thrive, and stay together. Through our adoption and permanency services, we work every day to help children and youth in foster care connect with the stable, supportive homes they deserve.

Every child deserves the security of belonging and the opportunity to build lasting family connections.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about adoption and how to provide a forever home for youth in foster care, we encourage you to reach out.

Watch their story and help us spread the word. Together, we can help Niam and Nasir find the family they’ve been waiting for.

NBC10’s Brenna Weick introduces two brothers, Niam and Nasir, who are in kindergarten and first grade, who are looking for a loving, affectionate home where they can grow up together.
