Adoption from Foster Care

Bright Futures Adoption Center’s Adoption and Permanency Program finds “forever families” for children of all ages currently waiting in the Massachusetts Foster Care system.

Bright Futures Adoption Center’s Adoption and Permanency Program focuses on finding permanent, loving families for children and sibling groups of all races and ages, from birth to 18, currently in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families; and, equally important, helping those children and families to succeed by providing access to ongoing counseling, supports, services and resources.

Recognizing that safety issues must be a priority, we believe that every adoption should be as honest and open as possible by:

Putting the best interests of the child first, including arranging for access to ongoing information about themselves, their medical histories and other aspects of their families of origin.

Beginning with complete knowledge of the child’s history, needs and strengths, and with the understanding that adoption is a lifelong journey for everyone involved.

Providing the pre-adoptive parents and the child – and members of the family of origin if appropriate – with the opportunity to get to know and respect each other before placement.

Maintaining safe, positive connections between and among the child and all of the parents, siblings, and other relatives/important people in his or her life.
