Adoption Connection

As a private nonprofit Ohio Adoption Agency in Cincinnati, you can feel secure with Adoption Connection. After all, we are local adoption experts who have been bringing hearts together to build families since 1943. Adoption is the ultimate expression of love. It is the bringing together of adoptive parents (men and women who want to adopt a baby) and birth parents (pregnant women and their partners who want to place their baby in adoption) who share a common goal - that their baby will be raised in a loving and secure environment. So whether you are working to adopt, or are hoping to place your infant into a loving home, we are very excited you have decided to explore the possibility of adoption with Adoption Connection!

Adoption Process for Birthparents: 1. Contact Adoption Connection at our 24/7 birth parent phone number (513) 236-1440 24/7 and schedule a meeting with an experienced social worker who will support you and provide counseling for you throughout the adoption process. 2. Discuss your options and the adoption process with your social worker. We are here to offer support and non-judgmental counseling. 3. Our experienced adoption social workers closely work with you to explore the kind of adoptive home you are seeking. We will then show you prospective adoptive parent profiles so you can select a family. 4. Meet the family, only if you choose.
