ROCHESTER, New York

Our Mission

Children Awaiting Parents (CAP) is a national nonprofit organization that recruits adoptive families for children in foster care. CAP has helped bring together more than 6,000 children and families over the last 43 years.

Who We Are

In 1972, a group of parents in Rochester, New York, members of the Council of Adoptive Parents (the original CAP), seek to break through the barriers of adoption. A brainstorming meeting sparks the idea to create and distribute a book that will include pictures of adoptable children. At this time, the idea of publishing pictures of these children was very controversial. Fortunately, CAP secures the support of key adoption social workers and a prominent local pediatrician. The CAP Book is born.
