Domestic Adoption Program
|
|
Since 1992, Adoption-Link has specialized in placing African-American,
bi-racial and multi-racial newborns. We have placed over 800 children and
firmly believe that all children of all races have a right to a permanent home.
Many of our children are drug-exposed or have special needs. We work with
biological parents who want to make an adoption plan to not only take care of
their expected child but to meet the needs of their current family. We turn no
one away regardless of health status, history of mental illness or drug and
alcohol abuse. We have a long waiting list of qualified, passionate families
whose heartfelt desire is to love and nurture a child. We pride ourselves on
the degree of personal service we extend to biological parents and potential
adoptive families. Most of our staff has also adopted children or have been
adopted themselves. After the delivery of
a child, the adoption plan is completed through the signing of the Final and
Irrevocable Surrender of Parental Rights Document. Our staff is then available
to both the biological parents and the adoptive family for post-placement and
post-adoption counseling. We are a unique program and ready to help.
