What We Do
On Your Feet Foundation Northern California is a newly established non-profit organization dedicated to helping birth mothers of adopted children and honoring their loving decision to place their babies for adoption.
On Your Feet Foundation Mission
Our goal is to assist birth mothers in achieving the personal and financial independence they need to take care of themselves and their families by creating opportunities for them to find their footing after placing a baby for adoption.
Specifically, On Your Feet Foundation assists birth mothers in expanding their skills by providing:
- Vocational counseling and mentoring
- Connecting birth mothers with each other for networking and support
- Financial grants for educational purposes
The On Your Feet Foundation Northern California is an all volunteer, non-profit 501©(3) organization of adoptive parents, grandparents, adoption professionals and other individuals who care about adoption. It is based on the successful organization by the same name started in Chicago in 2001.
