Our Mission

For thirty years, our mission has been to build forever families through adoption. Our goal is to create families in the shortest possible time and with the most support for birth mothers and adoptive parent(s). We have the most diverse clientele serving ALL families, whether married or not, same-sex, single parents, LGBTQ, and relative adoptions.

Why Choose A Baby Step Adoption?

We offer all of our birth mothers personal caseworkers to provide emotional support and plan the budget and services you need to improve your future. You are not ‘giving up your baby’ or ‘putting up your baby’. You are making an adoption plan. We are available 24/7 for open or closed adoptions with pre-approved families of your choice.

Inclusivity

We pride ourselves on being a fully inclusive adoption agency since the beginning. We know that what makes adoption successful is love and support, not a specific type of family.
