Adoption is not an easy road, but it can be one of the most rewarding roads in life!  We strive to make every adoption the best experience for all parties involved.  No two adoptions are alike.  Some are traditional, confidential placements.  Others are completely “open,” and many are somewhere in-between. We will explore your needs and wishes about adopting and help you find the situation that is right for you.  We can help you put your family profile together. We actively network to promote our families and our birthparent services nationwide to create as many adoption connections as possible.  We will support your independent efforts to find a birthparent match.  We can guide you in communicating with birthparents and others in the adoption process. We can help you understand the different stages of the process itself.  Once placed, we will assist you with any post-placement concerns and can serve as the intermediary for ongoing information-sharing, if desired.  We provide a network for our adoptive families and plan social events to allow you to interact with other adoptive families and those waiting to adopt.  We’ll encourage you to become adoption advocates by sharing your own positive adoption experience in your own community, with your friends and families, with legislators and other public policy-makers, with schools and with the public so that adoption will continue to be viewed as a positive option.

Creating adoption connections to meet the needs of birthparents, children and adoptive parents.
