Family Builders believes that every child has the right to grow up in a permanent loving family, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, medical, physical or emotional condition. We educate the community about the needs of children waiting in foster care, advocate on their behalf, and place children with permanent, secure families through adoption and other forms of permanence.

We welcome traditional families, single parent families, gay and lesbian families, transracial and multiracial families, and all other families in the nine Bay Area counties in which we are licensed to provide services to prospective adoptive parents. These counties are Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma.

We are a member of the national Family Builders Adoption Network, the Child Welfare League of America, the California Association of Adoption Agencies, and the Adoption Exchange Association. Family Builders is an accredited member of the California Alliance of Child and Family Services. Our services to families are free of charge for special needs adoption.

Family Builders provides a full range of services to families who wish to adopt a waiting child. In addition to an orientation and pre-adoption training, we offer ongoing support services, post-adoption training, groups, community building events, and an extensive library which is available to all families.
