32 years ago, we adopted a Jewish baby and discovered that many Jewish children, especially with special needs, were being placed in non-Jewish homes or abandoned in institutions. We tried to encourage Jewish organizations to help find Jewish adoptive homes for such kids, but none felt they could do it, so we founded the Jewish Children’s Adoption Network, ran it out of our home, and help find Jewish families for over 2,000 Jewish children. Every time we have helped a Jewish child find a Jewish home, we feel that we have helped save a Jewish neshama find its proper home.
