“I always wanted to give back and nurture another human being. Thanks to Aviva, I was able to foster and adopt three amazing boys. Aviva taught me about parenting, fostering, and adoption — and helped us become a family.”
Aviva welcomes foster and adoptive parents of all cultures, religions, races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, marital statuses, and disabilities.
