Let It Be Us

Let it Be Us is a nonprofit dedicated to the adoption and education of children within the Illinois foster care system. Funds raised will go to programs and projects that maximize the prospects of successful adoptions for these children, further the education of the older children will most likely not be adopted, and, in general, make this world a nicer place for them.

Let it Be Us envisions a future in which our most vulnerable children have the opportunities and resources they need which can best be met by belonging in a family.

Every moment a child waits in foster care, the less likely he or she is to be adopted.
