Trusted Adoption Agencies in the Philippines
In 8 out of 10 questions asked about local adoption, OVER HALF of respondents stated that they are unsure about their answers, with every correct answer being logged into the minority of responses.
What is with this staggering imbalance? Due to the lack of educational awareness and media attention to this topic, the Filipino population stands at a lack of relevant knowledge regarding adoption. In our campaign’s conducted survey, MORE THAN EIGHTY PERCENT of responses stated that they do NOT know about the local adoption processes in our country.
So who are the Philippines’ local adoption agencies?

“Every Child Deserves a Loving and Permanent Family”
Kaisahang Buhay Foundation, Inc. is a private, non-profit child and family welfare organization licensed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) since 1975. The organization’s name, Kaisahang Buhay Foundation, stands for wholeness or “one-ness” within the family and seeks to provide a meaningful life for the children it serves.
This organization primarily provides three main services for its orphans and single mothers. First, they provide a foster care service for toddlers and infants whose birth parents are unable to properly care for them, either temporarily or permanently. Second, they give intensive care for pregnant women and girls who are unable to support themselves in crisis situations. Third, they provide a day care service in disadvantaged communities to help foster the talents and development of children around the country. They seek to give these children a future, and a family to love.
