Since
1967, Downey Side has been...America's Resource For Adopting
Older Children
Downey Side's
philosophy is rooted in the conviction that every child deserves
the right to a permanent and loving family. It is our purpose to work
in partnership
with the government as a licensed adoption agency to place America's
waiting children
who otherwise would remain homeless. We are dedicated to family life
for all children
and strongly believe that a healthy permanent relationship is the best
prevention against
homelessness.
Downey Side has also
the additional purpose of leading members of each community to
become advocates for children in need.
"Every child has the
right to a permanent family."
Fr. Paul Engel, OFM. Cap
