ADOPTION SERVICES |
We serve:
- ADOPTIVE FAMILIES
- ADOPTED CHILDREN
- BIRTH PARENTS
As proud as we are of our history, we are equally proud of the progression and growth of our programs. It is our mission to provide services to our clients in a manner that enables self-respect, dignity, and self-determination. We believe that each person involved in the decision making process for determining the adoptive placement of a child should be given as much control as possible in making a permanent, loving plan for each and every child.
