Spence-Chapin Services to Families and Children
Spence-Chapin is a licensed and accredited nonprofit organization that has been offering quality adoption services for more than 100 years. Our mission is to provide adoption & permanency related services as well as mental and emotional health programs. Our mission is driven by the simple belief that every child deserves a family. Through our Modern Family Center we are helping each family member navigate their individual adoption stories with clarity and confidence. Spence-Chapin's roots can be traced to the early 1900s and the pioneering work of Clara Spence, and Dr. and Mrs. Henry Chapin. Today, Spence-Chapin is proud of our role as a prominent voice and leading advocate for adoption, and of our commitment to the well being of all members of the adoption triad: birth parents, adoptive parents, and their children.
