Adriel is a mid-sized nonprofit organization in the individual and family services sector, based in West Liberty, Ohio. Founded in 1896 as the Mennonite Children’s Home, it has historically served children who lack family or face unsafe or unhealthy home environments. Over time, Adriel expanded its offerings to include foster care and adoption services, guided by the Teaching Family Model of Care, an evidence-based approach that reinforces positive behavior and helps children make sound decisions. The organization is licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health to provide counseling, and it holds accreditation from the Council on Accreditation, indicating adherence to established best-practice standards of care. It is a member of the Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies. Adriel’s work centers on supporting children in need and their families through foster care and adoption pathways, addressing safety, stability, and relationship continuity. It operates within the broader Ohio child welfare and mental health services landscape, combining licensed services with accredited care practices to meet the evolving needs of its constituents. The organization’s long-standing mission reflects a focus on children who lack sufficient family support, and its standards-based approach positions it within recognized professional care practices.
