Madison Adoption Associates proudly announces 126 adoptions were completed in 2016!
  
After an extremely lengthy process, a young man came home from El Salvador to spend his first holiday with his forever family.  We also placed 9 beautiful children from the Philippines, and 116 smiling faces from China!  It would not be possible without your devotion to our mission. 

We thank you, and here's to 2017!

Come out for our annual Lunar New Year Celebration!

  It's the year of the Fire Rooster! According to Chinese astrology, roosters are always up, out, and doing. So with that in mind, we invite ALL adoptive families to channel their inner rooster and celebrate with MAA!
 
This free event includes games, crafts, and entertainment. We ask that guests bring a pot luck item to share. Please RSVP to Leonette@madisonadoption.org

New MAA Grants for Children with Down Syndrome

Madison Adoption Associates, in order to further advocate for families to adopt children with Down Syndrome, is now adding a $2000 Grant* for any China waiting child on MAA's Individual List or the Shared List.

*this grant is awarded as an agency fee reduction; minumum agency fee is $3000

Reece's Rainbow Announcement

The Reece's Rainbow Board of Directors is excited to announce that  effective January 1, 2017, all older  children with **Down Syndrome**  are now eligible for a  $15,000 adoption grant  from the Older Child* Pool!

The RR website has been updated, along with all the child profiles.  Please be a warrior for one child and share, share, share!

We hope this change will help more of these children find forever families before they age out.

*Older Children are age 10 and up.
These children came home in December and were here to ring in the New Year!
