Support the Donaldson Adoption Institute on Giving Tuesday

The Donaldson Adoption Institute in New York City helps everyone touched by adoption. As an adult adoptee, I am very interested in the work that they are doing to support adoptees throughout their lifetime.

The Institute began with a one time grant. Therefore, gifts are precious and appreciated.

Please support all of those in the adoption triad who seek richer and healthier lives of opportunity.

Please give today!

Sincerely,
M. Samuel
