What do you want your family to be?
Adoption is a time of possibility. It is an opportunity to re-examine your past, and accept who you are today. It offers the chance to break with your genetic code and redefine the family, your family.
For over 18 years, we have been compassionate facilitators of adoptions for individuals and couples in all circumstances and relationships. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status or disability. As a Hague-accredited consulting agency, licensed in Massachusetts, we facilitate both international and domestic adoptions.
“The process of adopting a child takes more courage than you think you have, offers more self-knowledge than you think you want, and reassembles your characteristics into someone familiar but changed. It is an incredible journey through a rich landscape of hard truths.”
— Jana Wolff, Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother
