Adriana B.

ACFB was not our first adoptive agency we have explored, but it was the right place for us. They genuinely care about everyone involved in the adoption process, including the birth mothers. They were honest, helpful and supportive. We will forever be grateful, that thanks to ACFB our family is complete.

It was a pleasure to work with Maggie and the rest of the staff at Adoption Center for Family Building. They were great at answering our questions and providing guidance at each step. We were happy with the support we received and the kindness they showed us and the Birth Parents.

Barbara is a very pleasant person to work with, she made us feel comfortable every step of the way. At times during our process we faced difficulties but with her guidance we were able to stay focused and achieve our goal.

My daughter was able to place her baby with a lovely couple this week. Thank you, Linda Fiore, for making this all so professional and comfortable as we made the decision that is right for everyone. Thank you to Mary for guiding my daughter so lovingly. God's blessings for the adoptive parents who opened their arms to our whole family. Thank you to all who made this happen! God Bless you!

The best part of working with ACFB is the education you receive before you make any decisions or invest in anything, they want to know your story - the trauma or sadness that you have been through before you start your adoption journey. ACFB creates a successful environment for adoptive parents to create successful families.

Support for birth fathers

If you’ve just learned your partner is pregnant or you’re a new father, you may be feeling shocked, angry, or confused.

Perhaps you need help exploring your options, or you want to be involved in making decisions that affect you and your child. Whatever your needs, we can help get the support you need.

We believe birth fathers can play an important role in their child’s life. That’s why we welcome and encourage you to participate in the adoption planning process and be a part of your child’s future if you choose open adoption.

Once you contact us, you will be matched with an adoption counselor who will respect your feelings, privacy and confidentiality, and support you every step of the way. If you and the birth mother decide to move forward with an adoption plan, there are several ways for you to be involved:

  • Review adoptive parent profiles, and assist in the process of choosing your child’s adoptive family.
  • Help the expectant mother create an adoption plan, detailing her wishes for the hospital and the placement, and the type of relationship she wants to have with the adoptive parents.
  • Create your own open adoption plan, agreeing on the frequency and amount of contact you want to have with the adoptive family.
  • Follow through on your commitment to the child. Stay in contact with your child and the adoptive parents. We are available to support and guide you along the way.

If you would like to learn more about your options, or talk with an adoption counselor, or get involved in the adoption planning process, please call us at 1-800-869-1005.
