The Way Home Adoption provides adoption recruitment and matching services focused on older youth in foster care. They assist youth in care by working on individual cases with a child-centered approach. They collaborate with CPS and traditional Child Placement (adoption) Agencies by including their youth in the program. They support potential parents by giving them the opportunity to know youth so they can make an informed decision about adoption. And they are a service for our community, eliminating the number of children that will age-out and become a startling statistic in our society.

Virginia Home for Boys and Girls’ mission is to help youth across Virginia with emotional and behavioral health concerns by facilitating the healing process using a relationship-based, cognitive-behavioral approach. Since 1846, when we were founded as the Richmond Male Orphan Society, VHBG has provided enduring care, stability, and support to generations of Virginia’s children who have experienced neglect, haven’t had their basic needs met, and/or have needed loving, caring adults in their lives. While we began as an orphanage, we are now a comprehensive child and family services organization. We offer three core program areas: 1) group care services for youth ages 11-17 and an independent living arrangement for youth ages 17-21; 2) specialized K-12 education in our John G. Wood School; and 3) therapeutic resources. We believe adolescents belong in nurturing environments and life-long relationships that have a strong commitment to teaching skills that help preserve, maintain, and reunify the “family” unit. We include extra support systems around direct care staff such as extensive training, on-the-job coaching, and eyes-on evaluation. These supports contribute to the longevity and professionalism of those working directly with the youth which leads to a higher quality of care and better outcomes. We ensure that every youth in our care receives a unique experience that is tailored to meet their needs with the ultimate goal for each youth to be on their way to a successful life.

In response to Christ's love and example, we serve children and families by providing healing and hope.
