Vision & Mission Statement

We envision a community in which everyone views adoption as a wonderful, natural and joyous way of creating a family.

The mission of Adoption Horizons is to create families through adoption by preparing, nuturing, and advocating for all those involved in the adoption process, and by building a thriving adoptive network in a supportive community.

Welcome to Adoption Horizons

Welcome to Adoption Horizons, a community-based adoption agency licensed to conduct homestudies, provide adoptive parent education and facilitation, and complete state required post-placement services. We offer a variety of domestic and international programs and services to families considering adoption.

In addition, Adoption Horizons also facilitates independent adoptions through its Infant Placement Program. Domestic, hospital placements are carefully coordinated to meet all the legal requirements as well as provide professional social services and counseling. This program requires families to be enrolled in another of Adoption Horizons' programs.

This is the beginning of your exciting journey through adoption! We hope you are able to use the information here to better understand the adoption process and the services offered by this agency. You can also request information to be sent to your home, learn more about our monthly informational meetings and see the beautiful faces of families and children who have already experienced this incredible journey.

Congratulations on taking the first important step towards becoming an adoptive family. Have faith and confidence that it can happen for you as it has for hundreds of families associated with this agency.
