WHAT IS THE ADOPTION PROGRAM?

…It's a way for you, your company or organization, to become an important member of our growing family.

Our children, the Kids on the Block puppets, need a loving "parent" to care for them. The KIDS of San Diego that are already with us seek attention and an opportunity to perfom. Other KIDS, still living at the Puppet Workshop in Maryland, would also like to find a home in San Diego. These KIDS need financial support to be able to visit schools, hospitals and community centers and share their important stories.

Here's what you can do...
