Family.
“A little bit crazy. A little bit loud. A whole lot of love.”
– Child filmed in I Belong Project
I Belong Project films 300+ adoption-eligible kids each year and advocates to help them find belonging with families.
“A family is someone who would take care of me if I was in danger, and someone who likes having fun…no matter what.”
When kids enter foster care the hope is for bio-family reunification.
But what happens when that outcome isn’t possible?
That’s where the I Belong Project comes in—the nation’s most successful, child-centered video storytelling initiative.
I Belong Project films and advocates to give kids who want to be adopted a Voice. Hope. And a real shot at Family. More than half of the kids we serve will be matched with a family, usually in less than a year.
