Our holistic approach to lifelong support is unlike any other adoption and child welfare agency in the nation. Our team of social workers, counselors, and outreach staff offer trustworthy, ethical, and lifelong support to tens of thousands of people touched by adoption, including birth parents, adopted persons, and adoptive parents. Services include options counseling for women facing unplanned pregnancies, pre and post adoption education for parents, an adoption-competent clinical therapy program, outreach and education, and placement services. The Cradle is the only adoption agency in the country with an on-site nursery. It is a safe, neutral place for infants to stay while their parents take the time they need to decide if adoption will be the plan for this child. The nursery also enables The Cradle to place infants whose special medical needs may mean that it takes a bit longer to find them a home that is prepared to help them thrive. We also offer training for prospective adoptive parents and adoption professionals through Adoption Learning Partners (ALP).
Established in 1985, OA&FS was the first and only agency in the Pacific Northwest founded on the philosophy of openness in adoption. We continue to be recognized as a leader in all-options counseling and ethical open adoption practices. We support people in exploring all of their pregnancy options in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. When the choice is adoption, we facilitate child-centered open adoptions. We assist birth and adoptive parents as they create healthy, long-term relationships that address the ongoing needs of their child. We provide ongoing post-placement support for adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. Our services are guided by perspectives shared by people with lived experience in the adoption constellation.
OA&FS is licensed in Oregon and Washington states and provides services to expectant, birth, and prospective adoptive parents throughout the Unites States. Our offices are located in Eugene, Portland, and Seattle.
