A Child’s Hope

A Child’s Hope offers domestic adoption services. The adoption agency was founded by an experienced and well-respected adoption attorney who wanted to make a difference in adoption. The agency’s offices are in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Director was instrumental in lobbying for positive changes in North Carolina’s adoption laws and the agency is well-regarded throughout the state among adoption professionals. Since opening in 2000, we have placed over 270 babies through our agency and the attorney director has placed hundreds more in independent adoptions.

Since 1944, Bethany Christian Services has been reaching out to children who are alone or vulnerable. As a worldwide and community leader in adoption and family services, we know that a child's best chance to thrive is as part of a safe, loving, forever family.

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh - Raleigh

Adoption services establish a permanent family for children and youth awaiting adoption, and increase the well-being and functioning of birth parents, adoptive parent families and adopted individuals. Adoption Services are provided to people of all faith traditions, or no faith tradition, through highly experienced adoption workers. Services are offered according to a designated fee scale for each service.

Frank Adoption Center

Frank Adoption Center began in 1994 and worked for a number of years to place children from Eastern Europe with families living in the US and abroad. With the implementation of the Hague Treaty and other major policy changes, these adoptions ceased in 2012. In 2013, Frank Adoption Center re-opened its doors as an entirely new agency, working in Nepal and employing a new staff, as well as a new Board of Directors. The goal of the new Frank Adoption Center is simple: to make the international adoption process easier for all involved.

Methodist Home for Children - Adoption

Methodist Home for Children is a licensed child-placing agency with special focus on Central and Eastern North Carolina. Each child deserves the warmth, comfort, and unconditional love of a permanent family. Our adoption services are a supportive component of our foster care program. We designed our adoption services specifically for “special needs” children, those with medical and emotional needs, sibling groups and older children. Our foster-to-adopt approach means that those seeking to adopt through us first become licensed foster families. We are committed to helping special needs children find permanency. Most children in need of permanent homes are not yet legally freed for adoption and are living in foster or group care. Foster parents commit to helping children work toward reunification with their families. If reunification is not possible, the child may be freed for adoption and the foster parents may pursue adopting. MHC staff will guide you through the adoption process. We also provide post-adoption services for one year. These services include case management, in-home consultation and support groups. All services are provided at no cost to children or families.

Additionally, The Bair Foundation receives funding from the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, New Mexico, the Texas Department of Regulatory Services, as well as funding from private donations.

Omni Visions, Inc.

Omni Visions believes that every child has a right to be a member of a healthy and supportive family which will provide long-term support. Children that cannot obtain this through their natural birth family need to be adopted. As a multi-state placement agency, Omni Visions works with children who have come into legal custody of the state. Once it is determined that the natural family is not capable of being a part of the child's life, Omni Visions staff dedicate their energy to recruit, train, coordinate and finance adoption home placement for children. Omni Visions works closely with each child and each prospective family to ensure a good match between child and family, to ease the approval process, and to provide all needed services, during the adoption process and afterwards. This commitment results in one of the highest adoption rates in the state.
