Adoption:  Where do I begin?

Deciding to adopt is one of the biggest decisions you will make.  Figuring out where to go from there can often feel overwhelming.  Do you want to adopt a child from the United States or do you want to explore your options around the world?  ABC Adoption Services can help you figure it out. 

Adoption is a lifelong process.  The experienced professionals at ABC/CAS are here to help families prepare for and understand the adoption process.  We have placed almost 3000 children with permanent, loving families.  Together with our parent agency Carolina Adoption Services, we offer you more than 34 years of adoption experience.

ABC Adoption Services offers two types of adoptions, international and parental placement.

International Adoption:  Where an orphan born in another country is identified and placed by an international adoption agency, such as ABC Adoption Services and Carolina Adoption Services.  Click here to learn more about International Adoption.

Parental Placement Adoption:  This is more commonly known as a “private adoption;” where the birth parent(s) and adoptive parents have already identified each other.  Click here to learn more about Parental Placement Adoptions in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
