What Does the Adoption Process Look Like in Strongsville?

    Home, hospital, coffee shop, or online, we’ll meet where you feel most at ease.

  • Step 3: Learn About Adoption Types

    We'll explain open, semi-open, and closed adoption so you can decide what feels right for you.

  • Step 4: Choose an Adoptive Family

    You can browse adoptive family profiles and choose the one you feel a connection with. Meeting them is optional.

  • Step 5: Create a Personalized Plan

    Outline your preferences for the hospital experience, future contact, and your emotional needs.

    Our commitment to you doesn’t end at placement. We provide post-placement counseling, retreats, and a community of other birthmothers.
