Simply submit an application with one of our placement partners and indicate on the application that you’d like to be a "Fearless Family," and then submit this simple form to us. That’s it! If you are accepted by our placement partner, we will fund your adoption as soon as we are able!
We do not. Our placement partners are responsible for all eligibility determinations, and we simply work with our wonderful donors to fund as many of them as possible. We intentionally keep a degree of separation from the approval process out of respect for the privacy of our Fearless Families and the precious children involved. We are grateful for the hard work of our partners to ensure a safe and flourishing home for these precious children!
Funding allocations are made quarterly, at the end of February, May, August, and November. The placement partner you select will help you understand when your application is ready to move forward.
We are constantly working to expand our network of placement partners, and working to ensure we have trusted partners for every willing family. If there is a placement partner you would like to see added to our network, please let us know.
Yes! We are officially recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization. You should always consult your tax advisor for advice about specific tax situations, but your donation to A Fearless Life is eligible for deduction.
We would love to see a reduction in the financial cost to adopt. While recognizing that every child is priceless, the financial burden on adoptive families is very real and significant. Adopting from foster care is dramatically less expensive than traditional domestic or international adoption, and in many jurisdictions can even be completed free-of-charge to the adoptive family. However, we feel strongly that an adoptive family is best prepared for this life-changing endeavor when they have the benefit of a placement partner. That is why we work with donors to fund those relationships. We are constantly working with our partners to find ways to lower this cost and maximize donor dollars. We want as many children as possible to find their forever homes!
We invite families to adopt from foster care, and invite donors to pay for those adoptions. For every $7,500 raised, a foster child is adopted into a forever family, free of any legal, agency, or licensing fees.
