We are an Oregon licensed adoption agency, with Hague certification, providing adoption home study and post adoption services to Oregon residents for both domestic and international adoption.
We promise to work with integrity, quality and diligence in providing the necessary services for your adoption needs.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents receive a reimbursement or payment to help with care costs. According to the Oregon Department of Human Services, the Oregon foster care rates are as follows:
- Base rate payment of $693 per month (age 0-5 years)
- Base rate payment of $733 per month (age 6-12)
- Base rate payment of $795 per month (age 13 - 20)
These payments are meant to help cover the costs of food, clothing, housing, transportation, personal care items, etc. Parents may also receive a shelter care payment.
The DHS or private foster care agencies provide flexible training opportunities, on-call support, access to a network of professionals, support groups, and respite care.
Respite care gives full-time foster parents a break when needed or allows them to address emergency situations.
With Love Oregon is a non-profit that supports foster families by providing clothing and supplies to young children. Parents can get clothing, diapers, car seats, and more.
211info is a non-profit that provides parenting education, parent-to-parent networking, helplines and support groups, and much more. Resource families can find many types of support on their website.

I participated in a Team4Tech event with Kidspire Vietnam (known as Orphan Impact at the time) in 2017. All I can say is that this is an outstanding organization and one that actually does what it says it will do, has staff that are passionate and dedicated to what they do and love the children/students they work with. The impact Kidspire Vietnam has on the children in the orphanages is huge and cannot be understated. I have met all the team personally and still keep in touch with all to this day. I highly recommend if you want to make an impact on someone’s life (including your own), get involved with Kidspire Vietnam.

I was an orphan from Orphan's Overseas, they are a wonderful organization. I was an orphan from Kazan, Tartastan Russia (which they do not do adoptions there anymore), my parents always tell me how happy they are with the organization. My parents said they tried to adopt in the US but they didn't care if they got a child or not, they just wanted their money, Orphans Overseas make their priority that you are gifted with a child. My mother to this day still gives money to this organization today, in 2014. She still tells me how wonderful they were, Orphans Overseas is the organization you want!
