What do you want your family to be?
Adoption is a time of possibility – An opportunity to re-examine your past, and accept who you are today. It offers the chance to break with the genetic vessel and redefine the family, your family.
For over 25 years, we have been compassionate professionals, facilitating adoptions for individuals and couples of all backgrounds. ARA is a full-service, licensed adoption agency. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, gender identity, gender expression, or disability. We are recognized as a Leader in supporting and serving LGBT families by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). We welcome all families to consider utilizing our domestic infant adoption program, managed by our sister agency, Acadia Adoption Center.
As an exempt or supervised provider for Hague and non-Hague international adoptions, we are able to provide the international home study and post placement services.
Contact us. We are here to help you assess where you stand. Then, we’ll guide and support you in your unique adoption experience.
“The process of adopting a child takes more courage than you think you have, offers more self-knowledge than you think you want, and reassembles your characteristics into someone familiar but changed. It is an incredible journey through a rich landscape of hard truths.”
– Jana Wolff, Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother
