Adoption organization wants to give you money
Help Us Adopt helped Alison and Erica build their family Help Us Adopt wants to help more LGBTQ prospective parents to expand their families through adoption DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer taffet@dallasvoice.com Most is the biggest reason many prospective parents give up on the idea of adoption.
So after adopting her two children, Becky Fawcett decided to help others adopt. Fawcett started a financial grant program called Help Us Adopt.
In the 18 years since she started her nonprofit, she’s granted 737 families up to $20,000 to go toward their domestic, international or foster adoptions.
But more of that money needs to go to LGBTQ parents, Fawcett said. So on June 5, Rainbow Roundup will host an online panel discussion in connection with Fawcett to discuss how to apply for an adoption grant.
