This may be the most inspiring, tear-inducing Instagram account we have come across yet. But, it's not just this organization's photos that have us in sniffles, it's their mission too.
Together We Rise (TWR) is a nonprofit organization that helps children in foster care all across the country. According to their website, 1200 children enter the foster care system each day in the U.S., and TWR is hoping to change the way these kids experience the system for the better.
How do they do it?
TWR works with hundreds of foster agencies, social workers and other partners to bring programs to foster youth across the nation. The organization has provided thousands of foster kids with new bicycles, school supplies and special duffel bags so these children don't have to carry their belongings in a garbage bag.
They also educate volunteers on issues surrounding the foster care system, hoping the education will lead to more involvement and understanding from people wanting to help but who can't necessarily foster a child.
Now, about those photos?
In a recent interview with The Huffington Post, TWR Executive Director Gianna Dahlia explained the organization's motivation for posting these adorable adoption photosâ and causing the internet to weep happy tears in the process.
âWith so much negative news surrounding foster care we just want to highlight the positive with amazing adoptions that are happening every day,â she said.
And, if that's not enough to make you smileâknow that many of these adorable photographs are shared through TWR's Framing Forever program that aims to connect families with volunteer photographers on their adoption day.
Well, what could be happier than that?
