Why this story matters...
In New Jersey, approximately 2,539 children were living in foster care at the end of 2024. During the year, 388 children found permanent families through adoption. Nationally, nearly 329,000 children were in foster care, while 46,935 were adopted from foster care. These are not just numbers , but people. Thousands of older children and teens continue to wait for permanent families, and their chances of adoption decline as they grow older.
The Match Party comes from my own twice lived experiences on the path to becoming a parent.
