There are many challenges with the current adoption system in America. From high costs and lengthy processes, to a worrying lack of transparency, the current system isn’t working for anyone involved. Erin Quick, a two-time adoptive mother and social entrepreneur, founded PairTree to address these issues by integrating technology into the adoption process, to bring it into the modern age and start meeting the needs of children and families involved.

PairTree aims to streamline adoptions by offering a unified platform that eliminates expensive middlemen, provides free education, and connects adoptive and expectant families with ethical adoption professionals. The platform enables more control, affordability, and transparency, fostering better connections between families.

PairTree is working with existing agencies and expanding through HR companies to enhance adoption benefits. Their mission is vital for transforming an outdated system, thereby enabling more children to find loving homes and ensuring the emotional and financial well-being of all parties involved in adoption.
