Our expert counselors are here to help you explore your options and decide if adoption is right for you.

As leaders in ethical adoption, we support the decisions that expectant mothers make for the ultimate well-being of their babies. We ensure that all birthmothers know their legal rights and that all adoption laws are followed. Our social workers provide free and confidential all-options counseling to ensure that women arrive at the decision that is best for them.

Adoption Connection has a stellar track record of placing babies with adoptive parents, which reflects our deep understanding of all aspects of placing and adopting a child.

We represent dozens of loving, prospective adoptive parents who are pre-screened and legally approved to adopt.

Requirements to become a foster parent

Many do not realize the need for new resource families in California. The number of foster kids outnumber the foster families who can provide short or long-term care. Foster advocates work hard to find places for these children, but it is not easy.

The latest 2021 report from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) report in California says there are:

  • 47,871 kids in California's foster care system
  • 22,892 who entered foster care
  • 15,386 foster kids awaiting adoption
  • California foster kids across all ages, with a median of 8 years
  • 33% whose foster child case plans include adoption

A child's median time in the California foster care system is over a year at 16.8 months. 13% spend 3-4 years in foster care.

California needs foster parents to take in multiple children if they have the time and energy to care for them. Sibling groups often need care, and it is essential to support these family bonds. In California, it is challenging to find homes for teenagers, though they need stable environments and reliable adults to support them.

Adoption Connection have been great since the day we signed up as hopeful adoptive parents.
They were great at keeping us informed during the process and are very passionate about what they do and offer great support to everyone involved.
