Adoption is a lifelong journey—thank you for taking the first step.

One of the first questions many families exploring adoption have is—How and where do I begin? The good news is, you already have. Being here, gathering information to begin choosing an adoption program that is right for your family, is an important first step.

You'll need to consider the needs of the children in each program, the level of emotional, legal and financial risk you are comfortable with, the program requirements, and the services and support available to your family throughout your adoption journey.

You'll find answers to many of your questions as you browse through our website and we invite you to join us for a free adoption information meeting.

If you'd like to talk to one of our adoption specialists, please call 800-952-9302 or click here to request a free adoption information packet.
