Deciding to plan an adoption for your child, or build or expand your family through adoption, is one of the most important and life-changing decisions you will ever make. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY is rooted in the belief that children grow best in families.  Committed to the highest ethical standards, AdoptionLink, a program of Jewish Family Services of Western Massachusetts, has helped children and families of all races and religions come together through adoption since 1967.

AdoptionLink is a comprehensive licensed private adoption program whose staff have decades of experience helping families through the journey of adoption. AdoptionLink offers warm, caring support to birth parents, adoptive parents and the children they love.  AdoptionLink is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation.

THE RIGHT RESOURCES
AdoptionLink provides a free consultation during which an orientation to agency services is explored and information about the world of adoption is provided.  Once a decision to plan an adoption is reached, our professional staff help you explore the type of adoption that best meets your individual needs.

DOMESTIC ADOPTIONS
Many of the adoptions facilitated by AdoptionLink are referred to as ‘parent-identified’ or ‘designated’ adoptions.  Assistance in developing strategies through which birth parents and prospective adoptive parents come to know each other is one of the services AdoptionLink offers.  We also assist families choosing out-of-state agencies with whom adoptive parents might wish to work.

INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS
AdoptionLink facilitates a growing number of international adoptions through seamless networks with licensed international agencies throughout the United States.  We help adoptive parents plan country-specific adoption based on their interests and the eligibility requirements set by each country.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Fees vary by the type of adoption you choose.  In accordance with IRS regulations, a $10,000 Federal Adoption Tax Credit is available to most families who adopt.  Other financial assistance may be available on a case-by-case basis.
