Private adoption services and education

As you know, adoption isn’t as simple as just getting a home study and terminating the biological mom’s parental rights. Today it’s so much more, and adoptive parents and expectant parents deserve support, empowerment and honesty at every step of the adoption journey.

In an ethical private adoption, both parties deserve legal representation and support from an adoption-informed social worker. We understand that hiring a full-service adoption agency can be expensive — that’s why ASC is proud to offer budget-friendly, hourly support for your clients and the expectant mother considering placing her baby with them.

Doing adoptions ethically means offering support and counseling for the expectant mom who’s considering your clients for an adoptive placement. As the legal representative, it can be time-consuming to set boundaries for all parties involved.

Our team is experienced and knowledgeable about what expectant parents need to know before signing legal documents. ASC can mediate and advocate for both parties when it comes to living expenses, their long-term relationship and more.

• Address their questions and concerns
• Educate them on modern adoption
