Makshivim · Adopt a Child

454 children are waiting.
You can be the answer for one of them.

Every child on our waiting list has survived trauma, and is waiting for the dedicated treatment program that will give them back their sense of safety. One adoption changes one life. The certificate you'll receive at home will remind you of that every day.

What Your Adoption Includes

Not a one-time gift. A complete process, for one child

When you adopt a child, you're funding a full therapeutic process, not just a single session.

1

18 Individual Sessions

A structured, personalized therapeutic process, guided by a professional therapist who follows the child the whole way.

2

Parental Involvement

Parents are active partners in the process, with tools and guidance, because resilience is also built at home, not only in the therapy room.

3

A Full Year of Follow-Up

The care doesn't end when the sessions do. Makshivim keeps following the child through the year after treatment.

4

Backed by Professional Research

The program was built and is evaluated together with clinical professionals and research: a proven method, not a trial.

The Gift You'll Receive at Home

A personal adoption certificate, with their name on it

When you adopt a child, we'll mail you a personal, keepsake-quality adoption certificate, bearing the name of the child you adopted, with the family's consent.

Not a sticker on the fridge. A standing reminder, every day, that there is one child in the world whose life looks different because you chose them.

The child's details are kept fully confidential and shared only with the family's explicit permission.

"Every child on the waiting list is not a number. They are a child who has already survived too much. We can't erase what they've been through, but we can give them the tools to find themselves again."
