At Spence-Chapin, our mission is driven by the simple belief that every child deserves a family, and we work tirelessly to advocate for children in need of a permanent, loving home. Spence-Chapin has been providing adoption services and adoption support for more than 110 years. Each year, the services that Spence-Chapin offers impact the lives of children, women, and families, all around the world. Today, Spence-Chapin is proud of our role as a prominent voice and leading advocate for adoption, and of our commitment to the well-being of all members of the adoption triad: birth parents, adoptive parents, and their children.

The Chief Development Officer (CDO) holds a strategic and vital leadership position within Spence-Chapin, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
