Press Release: Friends in Adoption weighs in National Adoption Month

If a woman or couple chooses adoption, FIA works with them through the decision making processes around selecting an adoptive family, and provides lifelong support to all members in the adoptive circle: birth family, adoptive family, and of course, adopted person. FIA works with all families, and does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, marital status, age, religion, physical disability, income, sexual orientation, or gender identity/ expression.

FIA recognizes that adoption is a difficult choice. When adoption is the right option for a woman or couple, she can determine the amount of openness she would like in the future and works with the prospective adoptive family to create an adoption plan that works for all involved – keeping as central the best interests of the child.

FIA’s web site at www.friendsinadoption.org contains important information for women and couples facing a pregnancy decision. Learn what to look for in an ethical and established adoption agency. Learn about the values that FIA promotes: empowerment, open adoption, inclusiveness, and lifelong services. We invite members of the local community to become friends in adoption. Happy Adoption Awareness Month 2013!
