Throughout the United States, individuals and couples make the wonderful decision to grow their family. For many, the desire to adopt a child is strong. But due to a well-perpetuated myth, many prospective parents believe that it will be faster, cheaper, and easier to attempt an international adoption rather than a domestic one.

While there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing to adopt internationally, Adoptions From The Heart wants prospective parents to be fully aware of all of their options and to dispel the myth that domestic adoption is difficult.

In fact, every year, 18,000 infants are adopted in the United States every single year. In more than half of these cases, the adoptive family is matched with their child within six months and overall, the majority occur in under a year.  

Adoptions From The Heart which has been open since 1985 assists what they call the “triad” – birth mothers, prospective parents, and the children. Through their agency, pregnant women are able to obtain medical care for both mother and child, supportive counseling, and assistance in choosing an adoptive family. Prospective parents are also given access to support groups, information on financial assistance, and provided with home studies.

The Pittsburgh, PA office will be hosting an online webinar for anyone who is interested in learning more about the benefits of domestic adoption. This webinar will broadcast on Tuesday, September 5th, 2017 from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. The webinar will be lead by a social worker who will be available to answer any questions that attendees may have.
