- Welcome to the warm and
supportive world of Heritage Adoption Services. Deborah, Vicki and Cindy in
Oregon, Carolyn in Washington, Kerri in Montana and Lynne in Alaska
welcome you.
-
- Relax, get comfortable and
allow your computer “mouse” to assist you in finding out exactly who we
are. In fact, if you click on the family pictures above, you will see
stories of triumphant adoptive families. Read the stories and find out why
so many folks entrust us with their personal and emotional journey to
adopt.
-
-
- Domestic adoption, closed,
semi-open or totally open….helping you understand how it all works is one
of our specialties. We take good care of birthparents. We take good care
of you. Safety, security for everyone, through education and counseling is
what you can count on from us.
-
-
- So, who are we? We are
biological and adoptive parents with almost 100 years of combined
parenting and professional adoption experience. We are passionate! We have
survived infertility, children born to us (!), drug and alcohol affected
babies and healthy teenage uproars! Our children are domestically adopted
from the United States, Peru, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Columbia and Guatemala.
Our adoptions have been open and closed. We have lived through the Home
Study process; we even have had our own adoptions go “awry”, so we
understand life.
-
- Adoption……..Domestic,
Independent, Agency, using “facilitators”, so many questions. Closed.
Semi-open. Open. What is a Home Study? When do we obtain a post placement
report? Speedy Home Study Service, what is that? What do these terms
mean? How much will this all cost? How long will it take us? Can we choose
the sex of the child? You will be naturally overwhelmed. We have the
answers to those questions and a LOT more.
Our agency has always believed
in the value of a forever home for ALL children, regardless of the
politics of the day.
Take a look at our website. On the following pages you
will find all the services we provide, but know this: we are here for you.
Give
us a call at 503-233-1099. Drop us an
email. You have dropped
into a special place. A place where you really matter.
