“When you commit to a spouse or partner there are no biological ties, yet a family is formed. An adopted child enters a family in the same way. It is not blood and flesh that form a family, but the heart. Change a life forever...adopt a child.” – Laurel Constantinides

The Never Alone Foundation was born of a deep wish to honor and carry on the legacies of Laurel, Hannah, Zoe and Lucy Constantinides. Laurel was a true champion of adoption and more so, a true champion for love. And there was no more beautiful witness to this than in her three daughters. Laurel dedicated her life to the making of family. Through her daily life as a mother, through her work as an adoption social worker and through her constant support of the adoption community at large, she went out of her way to create family. These four people touched every person they met and brought light to the world.

We invite you to walk with us on this journey as we endeavor to build upon their labor of love by continuing to create family and community through the gift of adoption.
