Adoption

Adoption Agencies in PA

Hi Everyone,

My husband and I are just starting to look into adoption after miscarriages and finding out I would be really high risk if I do get pregnant again. The only agency I have heard of in PA is Adoptions from the Heart. Is anyone else from PA and possibly know if this is a good agency? Is it best to sign up with a few agencies? So many questions...

Thanks!

  • Some agencies will not work with you if you are signed up with another agency.  Even if they do permit it you will have to do a separate set of paperwork for each one.  So if you go with 3 agencies you will need 3 sets of background checks.  You cannot have them run once and then make copies, they each need the original.  So you will have to have them run (and pay for them) 3 times.  You will also have to pay each agency for their services. 

    I'm from PA but I didn't work in adoption/foster care when I was there so I have heard of that agency but I can't give you a review of them.

    ETA: Some people have signed with multiple agencies, but ours had significant fees (particuarly match fees). There was no way we could afford to sign with more than one agency.

    If you haven't checked the FAQs at the top of the board yet, I highly recommend.

  • I don't know if you're looking for domestic or foreign, but we used Living Hope. They do China, Taiwan, and Honduras.  We only worked with them and loved them. So blessed.
