  • Mission

    On Your Feet Foundation values the choice birth parents have made to place their children for adoption, helps birth parents become self-sufficient, and provides support and community after placement.

    About Us

    On Your Feet Foundation was founded in 2001 by adoptive parents, adoption professionals and a birth parent who recognized the need for practical help for women who had chosen adoption for their child. We are a small, nonprofit 501c3 organization that provides personal support to birth parents to help them get "back on their feet." OYFF focuses on helping our clients build a better life by giving them the tools they need through case management and coaching, monetary grants and through the creation of a community of other birth parents. Our case management services and monetary grants are available to birth parents living in Illinois and Indiana. Our annual retreats are open to any birth mother who would like to attend. We also provide speakers for adoption related educational courses and panels, including birth parents, adoptive parents and adoption professionals.
