Are There Adoption Agencies Near Me That Can Help Me to Start Open Adoption? 

Adoption Agencies

There are many pregnant women who want to give their children up for adoption, but they just don’t know how to begin with the process. First, you need to find adoption agencies near you.

If you are from Florida, you can contact Adoption by Shepherd Care. It is currently the oldest adoption agency in Florida. This is a licensed and local adoption agency. We have been helping birth mothers since the 1980s. Our team explains to you even about the open adoption plan that is quite popular among birth mothers. 

Why Are We Different from Other Adoption Agencies?

  • Contact us anytime you want. We’ll help you understand unplanned pregnancy and its options.
  • Once you decide to place your child for adoption, our case workers will explain to you the adoption plans. If you want to choose the open adoption, they will help you with that.
  • Decide the level of openness you want in your open adoption plan. Some birth mothers want to get in touch with their children through mail, messages, videos, and photo exchanges.
  • In case you want to meet with your baby post-adoption, please mention that in your open adoption plan so that adoptive families also understand your choices.  
  • Our team members will show you a list of pre-screened, verified families so you can choose the right adoption family for your baby.

  • open adoption plan, you can meet with the adoptive family members before finalizing the adoption process.

Official Statement from
Adoption by Shepherd Care

It has come to our attention that the Hulu series Good American Family contains inaccurate information regarding Adoption by Shepherd Care (ASC) and the adoption of Natalia. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the facts.

Contrary to what is presented in the documentary, ASC did not initiate any communication or have any involvement with Mr. or Mrs. Barnett in connection to Natalia’s adoption. The legal adoption process for Natalia was completed in the state of New Hampshire, where the original adoptive family resided, and was facilitated through a New Hampshire-based agency—not Adoption by Shepherd Care.

For those seeking further clarification, we encourage you to watch The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, Season 2, Episode 1, which clearly states that Adoption by Shepherd Care was not the agency responsible for facilitating this adoption.

We want to express our respect for all agencies and professionals engaged in this vital work. However, it is essential that accurate information is shared with the public and that the correct entities are acknowledged for their role in any adoption process.

At Adoption by Shepherd Care, we remain steadfast in our mission to place children in safe, loving, and permanent homes. We uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethical practice, and compassion for the children and families we serve.

We respectfully request that the media and members of the public refrain from further spreading misinformation related to this matter. While we understand the interest in this case, we also urge respect for the privacy and dignity of all individuals involved. Adoption is a deeply personal and emotional journey that must be approached with sensitivity and integrity.

Adoption by Shepherd Care will continue its unwavering commitment to finding loving and permanent placements for children, guided by the principles of honesty, compassion, and respect.
