We are non-sectarian and egalitarian. Our clients have ranged from persons of religious orthodoxy to persons with non-theistic belief systems. We do not discriminate on the basis of marital status, age, gender, or sexual preference.​

 

• We believe in direct communication, whether it is in person, over the phone, or by email. By the way, a live person answers the phone, the old-fashioned way.  

• We are a mid-sized agency: large enough to provide a full range of adoption services; small enough to know who you are when you call. Indeed, we treat you as if you were our only client.

• We are available. We close on six major holidays-- New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Otherwise, we are here to serve you.

• We are licensed in three jurisdictions-- DC, Virginia and Maryland -- to provide birth parent parent services and services to adoptive families, but we can place a child anywhere in the USA
  or the world. 

• ​Our Virginia license authorizes us to complete home studies for independent adoptions.

• We maintain ourselves on the basis of fees for services rendered. While we admire adoptive families who give generously, we will not ask you for donations either during or after the
  adoption process.
