About Us

Every Child. Every Family. Every Step of the Way.

Every Child.

For any child to grow and flourish they must have permanency in a healthy family environment. Since 1990, Adoptions Together has placed more than 3,000 children. Every child who has come to us has become part of a permanent loving home. Each year, we help more than 150 children join nurturing, stable families. We provide prenatal support and counseling for pregnant women considering adoption services as well as interim care and placement for children in need. Every year, we guide and support 400 women facing unplanned pregnancies to help them make the best decision for their child. We also work with local social services departments to find permanent homes or connections for older children in foster care.

Every Family.

One of the agency’s guiding principles is inclusivity: factors such as race, religion, marital status, wealth or sexual orientation don’t determine what kind of parent someone will be and they are never variables that we consider when finding a home for a child.  Through openness, honesty and communication we work with every family to ensure that they receive the education, support and guidance they need through the entire placement process. We understand that no decision in this process is an easy one, and we stand by our commitment to children and their families to help all those involved make the best choice for the child. Adoptions Together is committed to building and strengthening secure and loving families where children can thrive.

Every Step of the Way.

Adoptions Together supports children and families formed through adoption, guardianship, foster care, and kinship care with specialized services offered at locations in Maryland, Virginia and DC. Our support remains available to every family for a lifetime of guidance, education, and counseling to ensure that each family stays strong together. With a holistic network of more than three dozen innovative services that build and strengthen families, Adoptions Together is one of the most diverse nonprofit social service agencies serving the Washington/Baltimore area.  We also serve as a regional center of knowledge and activity on child welfare issues for a broad spectrum of educational, mental health, and other professionals as well as legislators, public officials, and the general population.

Adoptions Together is far more than just an adoption agency. We are a lifelong resource for families where information, support, and counseling can always be found.
