As Adoptions From The Heart celebrates 40 years of service, we want to take a moment to recognize you. Your story is woven into ours and we are deeply honored to have been part of your journey. As we look ahead to the next 40 years, we are reaching out to those who know us best – YOU. We invite you to become a part of our continued journey.
Over the last four decades, we’ve grown -but our heart remained the same. Founder and adoptee Maxine Chalker, created AFTH to be different: centering adoptee voices, supporting birth parents with choices, educating adoptive families, and promoting life-long support, education and inclusion every step of the way.
That belief continues to guide us every day.
• Pioneering open adoption on the East Coast before it was the norm
• Offering inclusive, non-judgmental options counseling even amid shifting legislative and social landscapes
• Serving the LGBTQIA+ community since 1990
• Amplifying the diverse voices of the adoption triad through platforms like AFTHtv
• Providing lifelong education and support
• Ensuring every voice is heard, reflecting all sides of the adoption triad in our staff and Board members
As we look toward the future, our commitment to this mission is stronger than ever – but we can’t do it without you! At this pivotal moment, your continued support is critical. As the landscape of adoption and reproductive health shifts, it’s essential that AFTH remains a trusted, compassionate resource for those who need it most. We invite you to share your heart. Join us in our 40th Anniversary Giving Campaign: Honoring our Past, Empowering the Future.
