Latest News:
We are getting a very positive response to our new
Safety Net Program!
Adoptive families everywhere are definitely ready for our
program that protects their adoption funds until birthmother successfully
terminates her parental rights.
Check out the details of our new Safety Net Program on our
'How We Work' page.
Need help writing your 'Dear Birthmother' letter and getting
your family profile together? Go check out our
'Resources' page for helpful hints and sample profiles.
Adoption Insurance is now being offered! If you live in CA,
FL, HI, LA, NJ, NY, Pa,
or TX (the adoption itself can take place in any state), you
can now purchase insurance and get reimbursed for out of pocket expenses if your
adoption fails.
Go to Adoption Insurance on our
'Resources' page to check it out.

We would like to welcome aboard our Canadian families.
The adoption of U.S. children by Canadian families is a blessing to many.
In some Canadian provinces,
the wait time for the adoption of a child through Canadian
social services is 10 to
15 years. There
are a couple more steps required in the legal process for Canadian
families bringing babies from the U.S., but this is mostly on
the Canadian side for legal entry of the child into Canada.
The Hague Convention has yet to be ratified by the United
States. The Hague Convention is an agreement made between two countries
that provides over-
sight mechanisms and regulations for adoptions between the two
countries. Because the U.S. has not ratified this agreement, the Canadian
government does not encourage or recommend the adoption of U.S. children to
their citizens. This
is a worthy attempt by
the Canadian government to protect their families from
unscrupulous people and
organizations that unfortunately do exist everywhere.
The upside of this for Canadian citizens is that until the
Hague Convention is
ratified in the U.S., it
is still extremely easy and legal for them to pursue adoption
in the U.S. and utilize any and all of the many, many U.S.
organizations that can
help families locate
birthmothers and adopt a child.
We would also like to
welcome our Amish and Mennonite families that have
joined us in the last
few months. As a result of us being recommended and listed
in the book For This
Child We Prayed by Thomas and Rhoda Bontrager (see our
'Resources'
page
for
information on this wonderful book), we have been getting
calls from Amish and
Mennonite families from all over the United States and
Canada. We are
thrilled to be able to present our birthmothers with families from
such solid, ethical, and religious homes and communities.
