WE UNDERSTAND THE SOUL-SEARCHING process you, as a family, go through when you make the decision and commitment to adopt a child. This decision may have come after months or years of infertility treatment. You may have been through an adoption that failed for one reason or another. Or, you may have children already, but your home and heart has "room for one more". Whatever events led you to this point are very personal, and we want you to know we care and are sensitive to your feelings of vulnerability.

OUR GOAL FOR OUR FAMILIES is to make the adoption process as "pain free" and understandable as possible. We will help you through each step of the paperwork, Immigration and Naturalization Process, state requirements, country legalization requirements, and ultimately, country of choice requirements.
