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."
