Mission Statement

Since 1985, as a non-profit organization, the mission of Adoptions From The Heart is to provide safe and loving homes for children and offer quality, comprehensive services to families, birth parents and children.  We will work to maintain standards and policies that are consistent with applicable child welfare policies and laws. Through educational, counseling and support programs, we help strengthen families, support birth parents and educate the community. The Agency’s mission also extends out into the community at large by providing financial support to families and children in need and helping to educate the public by providing trainings to hospitals, clinics, schools and social workers.  Adoptions From The Heart is also very active in continuing to help draft and propose legislation in various states that will positively impact the adoption and child welfare system.  

Our Goals

1. To assist in the placement of children in a permanent adoptive family, who understand a child’s feelings and their need to have knowledge about, and/or keep in touch with, their birth family.

2. To educate families regarding the positive impact open communication with birth parents and embryo donor families has on children entering families through adoption or embryo donation placement.

3. To educate the public as to the positive values of adoption as an option.

4. To educate the public about third party reproductive alternatives through the Agency’s Heartbeats Program for embryo donation, placement and surrogacy.  

5. To provide educational programs that will strengthen the family unit for families who have chosen adoption or third party reproductive techniques.

6. To provide counseling and support services to birth parents in the communities in which they live. 

7. To advocate for better legislation that will positively impact the adoption and child welfare system.

8. To provide home studies, counseling and individual counseling for all families, doing private adoption or adoption with another agency.
