In collaboration with the Social Welfare Department of Hong Kong, Mother's Choice provides local and international adoption services and advocates for their babies and children to join their forever families as soon as possible.[3]

Foster Care Services

Mother's Choice also provides temporary residential family care to children under 18 years of age whose parents cannot adequately care for them due to various reasons. The charity cares for 80 children through its Foster Care services.[4]
