In recognition of National Adoption Month, Children’s Network of SWFL is honored to celebrate a milestone that reflects the very heart of our mission: 28 children found their forever families this November.

Each finalized adoption represents the unwavering dedication of our team, the resilience of the children we serve, and the profound love of the families who opened their homes and hearts.

As CEO, I am humbled by the collective effort behind these life-changing moments—our case managers, caregivers, community partners, and especially the families who step forward to provide safety, stability, and belonging. This month reminds us that adoption is more than a legal process; it is the beginning of a lifelong journey of love, hope, and possibility.

To every family who said “yes,” and to every staff member who worked tirelessly to make these adoptions possible—thank you. Together, we are building brighter futures, one child at a time.

Warm regards,
Nadereh Salim, CEO
Children’s Network of Southwest Florida
