The Cradle is a non-profit organization based in Evanston, Illinois, established in 1923 to support families through adoption and child welfare services. Its approach integrates ongoing, holistic support for birth parents, adopted individuals, and adoptive families through counseling, education, and placement services, delivered by social workers, counselors, and outreach staff. The organization operates an on-site nursery to provide a safe, neutral space for infants while families weigh their options, including cases with medical needs that may require additional time to place a child. Its services extend to options counseling for unplanned pregnancies, pre- and post-adoption education, clinical therapy, outreach, and professional training through Adoption Learning Partners, positioning The Cradle as a comprehensive resource within the adoption and child welfare sector. The Cradle serves a broad community engaged in adoption-related experiences and emphasizes lifelong support beyond initial placement. A notable development in its recent activity includes a collaboration with Energy BBDO to address associated stigma around adoption.
