Description:
Children’s Home Society of Washington is founded on the belief that every child deserves a loving, stable and permanent home. We are a full service Adoption Resource Center that provides services to children and families touched by adoption. To this day, Children's Home Society continues its mission to develop strong children and families.

History:
In 1896, Children's Home Society was founded by an Illinois minister. Reverend Brown and his wife set out to create a statewide organization to find homes for homeless children. Their plan was to follow a relatively new idea of placing orphaned children for adoption in family foster homes rather than in orphanages. The early mission was to provide "a family home for every child" as orphanages were viewed as "too lacking in heart to respond to the love demands of human nature." To this day, Children's Home Society continues to help children find permanent loving homes.
