Mission Statement
To help children thrive; and to build, strengthen and sustain individual, family and community life.
Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
For FY24, CH Adoption's goal was to complete 39 international adoptions, place 31 waiting children for adoption through the foster care adoption program and support 45 placements referred by Minnesota counties in 2024, creating safe placements towards permanency for 115 children.
CH Adoption will increase the number of individuals served through foster care adoption education to 840, as the sole-contracted provider of this service through a new format of a renewed contract with DHS.
In FY24, CH actually assisted with 46 international adoptions, placed 23 waiting children for adoption through the foster care adoption program and supported 62 placements referred by Minnesota counties, aligning with the trends in the child welfare community. 543 individuals took all of the steps to complete the foster care and adoption education process from 1,129 who registered. Many register but do not attend, take longer to complete the process so could have still been in the process of completing the requirements at the end of FY24, and also self-select out of the program throughout the education process as they learn more about the program.
Current Goals
For FY25, CH Adoption will assist 74 children through our Foster Care Adoption Program and support 12,000 days of care for children in foster care.
