Our Mission

“Most people only dream of angels. We held one in our arms.”

Coping with the loss of a baby is a lifelong journey. At times, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Other times, there's an unexpected sense of peace. Often, it's a lonely, late-night struggle filled with questions like, “Why me? Why my baby?”. Everyone grieves differently, and those emotions can shift from moment to moment—especially in the early days.

Adalynn’s Gift provides families with meaningful, tangible items to help them bond with and remember their baby—both during their hospital stay and in the days, months, and years that follow.

Founded in honor of Adalynn Marian Peregrim, our mission is to ensure that every family in Connecticut facing the unimaginable loss of a baby receives a memory box—crafted with love, compassion, and deep understanding. These boxes are a symbol of care and connection, offering comfort during a time of profound grief and helping families preserve the memory of their little one forever.
