OUR WORK
The mission of Unashamed Inc. is to journey with current and transitioning foster youth and young adults, between the ages of 14-26, to overcome shame and know they have value and purpose, so they believe they belong in this world.Through various programs and services, we equip youth and young adults with the tools they need to dismantle unhealthy generational patterns and transition from surviving to thriving. We seek to support, inspire, and empower young men and women who have found themselves in these difficult situations and sow seeds of hope, resiliency and the skills needed for a positive future - even when they can’t see a future in sight.

What Our People Say
It’s hard to put into words just how special Unashamed, Inc and their Seeds of Hope project truly is. I didn’t have the funds to hire anyone to help me track down my birth parents. But when the Seeds of Hope opportunity came to me in a fortunate turn of events, my birth parents were found and contacted in less than three weeks. It has been a truly incredible experience and I am so thankful that a company like this exists to not only help adoptees find their birth families but to have their backs and provide reliable, trustworthy people and resources that make it a seamless experience. If I’m ever a millionaire I’m throwing money at this because it is truly LIFE CHANGING help that they are providing for a group of people (adoptees) who are oftentimes overlooked. - Christy Williams

I would like to give a special thanks to Unashamed, Inc. Their work with foster kids and adoptees is truly amazing. The assistance they gave by purchasing DNA kits to find my birth family is something that I couldn't afford at the time due to my fixed budget. Now that I know who my birth family is, I now know who I am and I feel complete.
