Helpusadopt.org to Provide 2.7 Million Dollars in Adoption Grants in 2025

Adoption non-profit has now distributed over $8 million in grants to help families of every combination, including LGBTQ+, in their adoption journeys since 2007

NEW YORK—Feb. 4, 2025—Helpusadopt.org, the adoption grant organization, today announced it will award $2.7 million in grants for calendar year 2025. To date, the non-profit philanthropic organization has awarded 845 adoption grants totaling more than $8 million to families of every combination, including single parents and the LGBTQ+ community. Helpusadopt.org provides life-changing adoption grants up to $30,000. 

The increase is timely, with the average cost of an adoption now reaching $50,000 or more. In most cases, adoption expenses are due in full, upfront, before the adoption can be completed. This can be an insurmountable financial burden for American families that want to adopt. Unfortunately, other adoption grants are not available to everyone. Single parents, people of color, non-Christian families, and LGBTQ+ families frequently face roadblocks when trying to adopt and apply for financial assistance. This is an imbalance that Helpusadopt.org seeks to address.

"We are so excited to announce a significant expansion in our reach,” said Becky Fawcett, founder and President of Helpusadopt.org. “Our amazing donors are dedicated to growing adoption and child welfare resources, effectively increasing adoption possibilities and making the process easier for people who want to grow their families. We are proud to be a power of example, awarding adoption grant funds to people who really need help.”

Fawcett explained, “Helpusadopt.org works hard every day to make adoption more inclusive and financially accessible to families who come from various backgrounds. We advocate for the millions of children around the globe who deserve a safe and loving forever home and the families waiting to bring them home.” 

Helping families with adoption is a mission that Fawcett undertook after unsuccessful rounds of IVF. She adopted two daughters, one in 2005 and the second in 2009. The Fawcett family had the financial means to adopt, though they spent their life’s savings. “Between five rounds of IVF and two adoptions, we spent a total of $190,000,” Fawcett said. 

Adopting was a significant touchpoint, and they decided to donate to a philanthropic organization that helped with adoption costs, easing the financial burden for other families. The couple could not find an adoption grant organization that was based on a mission of equality. This was the beginning of Fawcett’s inspiration to establish Helpusadopt.com.
