Since 1891, our compassionate staff has been connecting children with safe, permanent and loving homes.

Children's Hope International

Since 1992, Children’s Hope International has placed over 8,000 children in loving homes. With hundreds of adoption placements, about one half have been from China with the remainder being divided among the countries of Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Nepal, Bulgaria and Russia. Because we offer a variety of adoption programs, we are more able to place children with adoptive families. Children’s Hope International is a full service, licensed, not-for-profit 501(C)(3) adoption and humanitarian agency, accredited by the COA and the Hague. We are well organized in each country where we assist families in adopting. Our work is based on relationships that have been established for many years throughout the world. We are Hague accredited by the Council on Accreditation, which is the highest level possible for a placement agency. Children’s Hope was one of the first agencies to receive Accreditation by the Russian Ministry of Education to legally place children from that country. Our US team members have all been connected to the adoption word for many years. Many of us have children from a variety of countries Our international offices are located in Beijing and Guangzhou, China, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; with representatives in Colombia and Bulgaria. The well-trained, caring and bi-lingual staff members within these counties are able to assist in processing paperwork and more importantly, to meet and accompany the adoptive families the entire time length of their stay. We understand the complexity of adopting internationally; therefore we have chosen bi-lingual staff who demonstrates competent and caring traits. They are aware of the nuances that may occur while being immersed within a different culture and are able to serve as a link to problems and/or procedures within the U.S. In short, our international staff are capable people of integrity and trust!

Good Shepherd Children & Family Services

We value the life of a child from the time of conception to adulthood. Each child deserves to be a member of a caring family. Family can be defined in many ways. Our definition of family begins with a child and one caring adult. We strive to instill hope for the future in all of our children and families. In fact, we must be the "keeper” of hope for children who are often unable to imagine an end to the trauma and pain they’ve experienced. We embrace a positive culture in which all staff act as shepherds of the youth in our care, taking opportunities every day to guide them toward their goals, allowing them to see possibilities in the world around them and make the most of the gifts they have been given. Adoption services are provided for children from infancy to adolescence with a growing emphasis on placing older children and sibling groups. Our goal is to help children of all ages become permanent members of safe, loving families.

Dillon International

Dillon International was founded by Jerry and Deniese Dillon in 1972 to meet the needs of the thousands of vulnerable Korean orphans. Centrally located in the United States, Dillon International is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and was the first licensed international adoption agency in the state. Throughout our history, Dillon International has been actively involved in establishing intercountry adoption standards and policies both in the United States and abroad. The agency has helped to establish adoption programs in several countries, including a model foster care program in Korea. Each participating country in the agency’s adoption program has invited Dillon International to help find homes for their vulnerable children. Since our beginning, Dillon International has placed over 6,000 children from developing countries with loving, adoptive families in the United States. Several hundred additional children have been placed with families in their country of birth as a result of Dillon’s efforts. In addition, Dillon International has helped to underwrite hospitals, orphanages and schools in Korea, India, China, and most recently in Vietnam.
