Ethical Adoption
And Why It Is So Important
There are hundreds of agencies and lawyers to choose from. Why choose Tapestry?
The choice can seem overwhelming. There are some things you should know when choosing an agency. Every agency is guided by their values. For some it is a business focused on providing a product to an adoptive couple. For others, it is a social service agency providing casework and counseling. For Tapestry, it is a ministry. We are called and dedicated to being the hands and feet of Jesus by serving you the birth mother, the adoptive family and to your child. We call this the adoption triad. Our staff knows all sides of this triad and we do our best to represent and honor all of you.
So what makes us different and ethical?
We are transparent. This means we never withhold information. We are honest about all factors regarding your adoption plan.
Adoption is big business. Agencies in the US charge as much as $60,000 to $70,000 for an adoption. They may fly on a private jet to meet you. That’s NOT who we are. Tapestry’s costs are less than 1/3 of that of other agencies. We believe that average, financially secure families should be able to adopt without mortgaging their home. We aren’t doing this to make money.
You choose the adoptive family. If race, location, size of family or faith is important to you, we will help you find that family. We don’t pressure you to choose from a list.
We request that at a minimum, adoptive families provide pictures and updates so that you can check in anonymously any time to check on the child. Of course, if you want more communication than that, we will set that up as well.
You will have an attorney that represents you.
We are there post adoption as well. Your journey doesn’t end just because the baby has been born. You may continue with a counselor or we have great mentors that will continue to walk with you.
Adoption is not a transaction. It is the beginning of a relationship.
