Overview
Mission
Moms Adopting Moms offers advice, encouragement, mentorship and resources to biological moms and dads when possible, who are doing everything in their power to reunite with their children and thrive post reunification.
What it reported doing in 2025
Moms Adopting Moms, Inc. provides peer mentorship, resource navigation, and stabilization support to biological parents working toward reunification with their children in foster care. Services include individualized mentoring by trained peer mentors with lived experience, assistance understanding and completing case plans, transportation support, emergency financial assistance, and ongoing encouragement designed to promote safe family reunification and long-term stability. During 2025, the organization received service requests from 59 additional mothers across five counties in Georgia and supported more than a dozen successful family reunifications, bringing total reunifications served in the past two years to 25 families. The organization expanded its Freedom Fund emergency assistance program and continued its Drive to Thrive transportation initiative, providing access to reliable vehicles at reduced cost to program participants to support employment, treatment participation, and court compliance. Moms Adopting Moms also coordinated community engagement and education efforts, including hosting university interns and service-learning teams from the University of Georgia and Athens Technical College to support program development, outreach, and family services. Seasonal support programs assisted 35 families during the holiday season with essential items including clothing, food, toys, and transportation assistance.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 85% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
