Adoption Options works with you to help create or add to your family through adoption. Our caring and supportive staff will guide you through every step of the process. An adoption journey isn’t always a straightforward path, but no matter what brings you to us, we welcome you.
We know that many people come to us because of personal experiences, whether it’s struggles with infertility, pregnancy losses or a strong desire to expand your family through adoption. As many clients (especially for our International program) adopt for reasons that are not because of fertility loss but more of a calling or may be a relative adoption.
Types of Adoption
Finding the Right Adoption for You
Our caring counsellors will provide you information regarding your options, including referrals to other services if required.
Domestic Open Adoption
Open adoption brings birth parents together with prospective parents. The birth parents select the family they wish to adopt their child, and after placement there is ongoing contact between the birth family and adoptive family. The majority of adoptions through this program are infants.
International adoption is for those wishing to adopt a child from another country. Those looking to adopt a relative from another country would also go through the international adoption process.
Private direct adoptions most commonly refer to a step-parent or kinship / family adoption. It can also be when birthparents or a child’s legal guardian place the child with a family they know.
We strive to keep fees for adoptive parents affordable. Donations to Adoption Options let us provide professional services in the adoption community free of charge. Adoption Options is a not-for-profit agency and a registered charity.
