Adoptions from the Heart

Since 1985, as a non-profit organization, the mission of Adoptions From The Heart is to provide safe and loving homes for children and offer quality, comprehensive services to families, birthrents and children. Through educational, counseling and support programs, we help strengthen families, support birthrents and educate the community. The Agency’s mission also extends out into the community at large by providing financial support to families and children in need and helping to educate the public by providing trainings to hospitals, clinics, schools and social workers. Adoptions From The Heart is also very active in continuing to help draft and propose legislation in various states that will positively impact the adoption and child welfare system. In addition, the Agency’s mission is to maintain standards and policies that are consistent with applicable child welfare policy and law, including, without limitation, the convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in respect of Inter-country Adoption, a multilateral treaty executed at the Hague on May 29, 1993 (the “Hague Convention”), the Inter-country Adoption act of 2000 (the “IAA” or Hague Law), and the implementing Regulations set forth in 22 CFRrt 96-98 dated February 15, 2006 (the “Hague Regulations”). Specifically, Adoptions From The Heart shall abide by the principles of (i) ensuring that inter-country adoptions take place in the best interests of children; and (ii) preventing the abduction sale or trafficking of children in connection with inter-country adoption.Adoption services
