Provides the highest quality adoption and related support services to children of color. Our primary client is the child. Our goal is for every child to feel wanted, honored and loved, a cherished member of a strong family with proud connections to the rich cultural heritage that is his or her birthright.

Description:
In addition to facilitating adoptions, we offer lifelong support to all triad members. In order to serve the child, we address the needs of all of the child’s parents, by advising families facing a crisis pregnancy and by offering lifelong education to adoptive families and birth families on matters of race and adoption. Fees are charged to adoptive parents on a sliding scale. All services to birth parents are free. We work with families throughout the US.
