Every year, we help more than 9,000 kids and families in Northeast Florida. We're determined to create brighter futures for our children. And we succeed.  We change lives.  We create families ... like Lenny and Candie's. 

Lenny and Candie

Forever families created through adoptionLongtime foster parents Lenny and Candie have cared for special-needs children for more than a decade. Some, says Lenny, you just plain fall in love with.

“They’re wonderful kids with a misfortune that isn’t any fault of their own. They know they could’ve been left someplace,” Lenny says. “Now they’re home. Now they have a family.” Find out how Lenny and Candie grew their special family through adoption.
