The Hemophilia Adoption Program is a groundbreaking worldwide outreach program advocating for children with hemophilia in need of forever families.

HFM’s Education and Program Services Director, Shari Luckey, oversees the Hemophilia Adoption Program. Shari has 4 children of her own with bleeding disorders, the youngest, adopted from China in 2010. Shari brings a valuable network of connections within the adoption community, collaborating to advocate for waiting children with bleeding disorders.

When children with hemophilia are identified in need of adoption, Shari collaborates with others to advocate in hopes of connecting them with loving families in the United States. Once a child is matched with a family, HFM offers support by connecting the adoptive family to the broader hemophilia adoption community, as well as local bleeding disorders organizations and Hemophilia Treatment Centers.

HFM administers the Luke and Jack’s Together Forever Adoption Grant, and offers educational materials and resources about hemophilia adoption at key stages throughout the adoption process. Support and encouragement continue as families travel to meet their child and extend well beyond the child’s arrival home.

The Hemophilia Adoption Community began as a grass-roots effort and has slowly grown with dozens of children with hemophilia now home in the U.S.A.
