There are many different paths to a successful adoption. Why choose Adoption Connection's infant domestic program to help you grow your family?

Experience
Since 1984 Co-Directors Randie Bencanann, LCSW, and Lynne Fingerman, MSW, have created adoption plans that work best for both the birth and adoptive families. Thirty-nine years of combined experience makes them infant adoption experts.

Customer Service
Adoption Connection is committed to answering all your questions in a timely manner. No question is too silly, ignorant or repetitive. We understand that during stressful times you will need immediate assistance and support. Our tight knit team of professionals provides non-judgmental and caring service so that you can get all of your questions answered and appropriate results.

Fee-for-Service Contract
With a fee for service contract you are only charged for the services that you need and request. Our families pay as they go for services rendered. As a non-profit adoption agency affiliated with Jewish Family and Children's Services (JFCS) of Northern California we are able to keep our operating costs low and pass these savings on to our adoptive families. This is why we can continue to offer superior service and yet still charge reasonable fees..

No Waiting Lists
In an open domestic adoption birthparents help choose the adoptive parents of their child, if they so desire. Adoptive parents create a "Dear Birthmother" letter and the birthmother gets the opportunity to meet one or more prospective families. That means adoptive families match with birthmothers when it feels right for both, whether it takes six months or two years. There is a birthmother out there for everyone!

Non-Discrimination Policy
Adoption Connection understands that families come in all shapes, sizes and colors. We welcome couples and individuals of all ages,of all religions, ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. For more information go to our LGBT Adoptive Parenting page.

Education and Support
Adoption is a lifelong process. We are committed to helping you connect with a birthmother and grow your family. We will continue to support you as you begin raising your child. With appropriate workshops, support groups, and resources we will make sure you have the information necessary to parent at all stages of your child's development.
