You have taken the first step in learning about adoption by coming to this website - welcome!  It's not unusual to have lots of questions about how adoption works and what program may be right for you. Consider the type of child you can parent, the program requirements, the amount of time it will take, and the level of risk, emotionally, financially and legally, with which you are comfortable.

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 information meeting.

If you want to talk to one of our adoption staff call 800-952-9302 or if you'd like to receive printed materials click here. To learn more, click on the options to the right.
