Creating Loving Families Through Adoption

First Coast Adoption Professionals has the extensive knowledge to help adoptive families find the right child for them. Our adoptions are usually semi-open, meaning the birth mother has active participation in selecting adoptive parents. We guide you through every step of the process, from the initial application to the final adoption. Most importantly, we give you the emotional support to deal with the inevitable ups and downs of an adoption.

Broad Geographic Reach

First Coast Adoption Professionals is licensed as an agency in Florida, Connecticut and New York and works with a wide variety of other agencies across the United States. Our large geographic range gives us more flexibility in finding the right homes for children.

Home Studies

Since we guide you through the entire adoption process, our licensed staff also conducts state-regulated home studies and post-placement visits. These studies help us get to know you, your family members and the home environment you would provide to an adopted child.

The in-depth study includes review of your background, employment, income, education, lifestyle, values, family life and more. We conduct home studies not only to comply with state law, but to also help us make the best match possible for both you and the child.
