For 100 years and counting, The Cradle has built nurturing families and provided lifelong support to all communities touched by adoption. Faces of The Cradle is a celebration of these stories and the impact we’ve had as we continue to work towards a world where every child thrives in a safe and loving family.
As part of our Centennial celebration, we are collecting stories from people whose lives have been touched by The Cradle, to share with our community. If The Cradle has been a part of your life in any way, we hope you will share a photo or story with us!
