At the Adoption Center, we work with birth parents and adoptive parents in guiding them through all types of domestic adoptions, including non-relative newborn placements, stepparent, relative, foster child, and adult. We also domesticate (or re-finalize) foreign adoptions, and facilitate home studies for domestic and foreign adoptions.
As highly experienced, Christian adoption professionals, totally dedicated to adoptions, we realize that adoption is a unique process with significant spiritual, legal, emotional, and practical ramifications. We understand that adoption is much more than just a legal process. It's also a very personal matter. Whether you are a birth mother, or prospective adoptive parent, adoption is your chance to work together with us in providing a precious child with a wonderful and secure, opportunity-filled life.
