As the adoptive mother of two beautiful girls, I'm delighted that you're interested in adopting a child. Adoption is not always an easy process, but it is always rewarding. There is no greater joy than watching a child grow up helping him or her discover the world and realize their highest potential.

At the Freddie Mac Foundation, we have made adoption a top priority. Through our signature adoption program, Wednesday's Child, as well as other successful foster care and adoption programs, the Freddie Mac Foundation has helped hundreds of children find loving, permanent homes.

My daughters grew up surrounded by the security and love that a forever family brings. But sadly, not every child has a family to call their own and the consequences can be devastating. Without the support of a permanent family, children are far more likely to drop out of school, become homeless or enter prison. You can help change that. By visiting this site, you have already shown that you care about these children and want to make a difference. I invite you to visit our website to find information about adoption.

You have the power to change lives, yours and the child who is waiting for you. I wish you the best.

Sincerely,
Maxine B. Baker
President & CEO
Freddie Mac Foundation
