Join Us For Our Exciting Auctions Family Stories Uplifting Event Adoption Celebration
Join us for the 8th Annual Touched by Adoption Evening, a special fundraising gala celebrating the 40th anniversary of Adoption Choice, Inc. Together, we’ll honor four decades of ethical, compassionate adoption services while investing in the future of adoption support for children, birth parents, adoptive families, and adult adoptees across Wisconsin.
For 40 years, Adoption Choice has been dedicated to creating families, strengthening connections, and providing lifelong guidance through every stage of the adoption journey. This milestone is an opportunity to celebrate the thousands of lives touched through adoption and ensure these services remain accessible for generations to come.
At Adoption Choice, we believe adoption is more than a single moment. It is a lifelong journey built on relationships, support, and community. Through reduced fees for qualifying families, birth parent scholarship assistance, counseling, education, and ongoing support groups, we provide compassionate adoption services that extend well beyond placement. Every gift made through Touched by Adoption helps ensure Wisconsin families continue to receive the resources, guidance, and care they deserve.
As we celebrate 40 years of serving our community, we invite you to be part of what comes next. Together, we can continue building families, strengthening connections, and changing lives for the next 40 years.

Thank you, Nelson Family!
Since the inception of the Touched by Adoption celebration in 2019, we have been humbled to have the encouragement and support of Green Bay Packer Alum Jordy Nelson and Emily Nelson.
Without hesitation, they have supported our vision and goals to uplift adoptive families, birthparents and the broader community.
Adoption Choice, Inc. had the honor to walk with them as they grew their family through adoption, and they have generously chosen to walk with us on our development path in the present and future.
