No matter where you are in your journey, Adoptions Together, a program of Paths for Families, offers compassionate services that build life-long connections. We have over 30 years of experience bringing together and supporting thousands of families through infant adoption services, foster care adoption services, home studies, and post-adoption support.
No matter where you are in your post-adoption journey, we have a network of services ready to meet you and your family's needs. Our expertise in trauma-informed, adoption-competent counseling services can help to stabilize, support, and improve behavioral health symptoms resulting in long-term positive outcomes.
Families can take many forms
We treat everyone with the understanding, kindness, and respect that we believe all humans deserve. This is the compass that guides us in our work, putting human dignity and ethical practices at the forefront of everything we do for children, families, and their communities so they can genuinely feel that they are not alone on this journey. We are a licensed adoption provider in Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia.

Whatever the challenges, and with the support of Adoptions Together, we knew we could find a way to make it work. And we are so glad we took that leap.
