A Family is a Gift that lasts forever.


Pathway to Adoption

Our journey to Open Adoption began with an information session at the Independent Adoption Center in Los Angeles. The Independent Adoption Center (IAC) is a counseling-based, licensed, nonprofit agency instrumental in pioneering open adoption. The information session introduced us to open adoption, IAC's counseling-based approach, the costs and steps to adoption. We were able to ask questions and experience adoption first-hand by listening to a couple who recently adopted.

The IAC did not have any exclusionary policies for adoptive parents, including age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, religion, ethnic background, color, or race. Their outreach programs and counseling-based philosophy for adoption was extremely appealing. We signed-up and our exciting journey began!!
