Adopt A Shadchan

Adopt A Shadchan is a support network serving Jewish singles and the people who help them navigate shidduchim, including shadchanim, dating coaches, parents, and friends. Describing itself as the largest global network of shadchanim and shidduch programs, it spans five countries and 30 cities. Its mission is to make the dating and matchmaking process less painful and more hopeful, with an emphasis on dignity, empathy, and practical support rather than judgment or pressure.

The organization offers a range of programs and resources, including Prayer Pact, a community prayer initiative; a shared dating database; introductions to shadchanim; dating coaching; and targeted speed-dating events. Other offerings include Fredt, Wedding Redting, and social activities such as challah bakes. Adopt A Shadchan also hosts events, shares resources, and creates opportunities for singles to connect and support one another. Many programs are developed with input from singles themselves. Through its network, events, and guidance, the organization aims to help participants find useful connections, feel supported, and approach the shidduch journey with greater confidence and hope.
