For more than 80 years, Boys & Girls Aid has been a trusted resource for adoptive families, pregnant individuals, and birth parents navigating the complexities of infant adoption. Today, through our Open Adoption & Family Services program, we continue our legacy of support, assisting both birth and adoptive parents as they set the foundation for healthy, long-term relationships that address the ongoing needs of the adopted child.

Every adoptee’s story begins with the choices adults make. By providing all-options counseling to expectant parents, our program aims to ensure that no adoption is planned without truly informed consent. Our Open Adoption & Family Services program is proud to advocate for and provide ethically minded adoption support that centers the child and puts their needs first, including this key aspect of their adoption story. 

We provide child-centered open adoptions for infants and children up to the age of 3. Each prospective adoptive family in our waiting family pool values openness and wants an ongoing relationship with their future child’s biological family. Our families are carefully screened and undergo an extensive education and preparation process to ensure they feel ready to parent a child in an open adoption
