Adoption Center of Washington

The Adoption Center of Washington (ACW) is a non-profit, child-placing agency licensed in the District of Columbia and Virginia. The agency’s purpose is to provide families for children are in need of adoption and to provide valuable medical or supportive services to children in orphanages who cannot be adopted. ACW firmly believes that children have greater opportunities to develop their potential when raised in a nurturing family. We also understand that the quality of life of adoptive families is enhanced by adding children to their family. As adoptive parents ourselves, we understand your concerns on a personal level. We support and educate families as they negotiate the adoption process. While the adoption process can be stressful, we work hard to provide individualized support and assistance to each family. We primarily focus our efforts on international adoptions. Currently, we work with orphanages and agencies in China, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. We also provide homestudy and post-placement services to adoptive families in DC and Virginia.
