Our Waiting Families

When you’re placing your child for adoption, you are in control of choosing the family that feels right. You can explore profiles, meet with families you’re drawn to, and decide who best reflects the future you want for you and your child.

All of our Waiting Families have completed their Home Study and background checks and are fully prepared to provide a safe, loving home. To learn more about any of our families or if you have any questions, please reach out to one of our counselors today!

Choosing a Family for Your Baby

If you’re placing your child for adoption, you don’t just get matched with whichever family is next on a list. You get to share your preferences, look through profiles, meet the families you’re interested in, and choose the family that best matches what you want.

Our families come from all races, cultures, religions, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, and are fully screened and vetted with approved home studies. We’ll be here to support you every step of the way in finding the right match, no matter what you’re looking for.⁠
