Announcement: The Closing of Adoption-Share’s Private Infant Adoption Network
With heartfelt gratitude and reflection, we announce the closure of Adoption-Share’s private infant adoption network. Since its creation in 2011, this innovative platform has strived to bring transparency, reform, and hope to the private infant adoption process, and we are proud of the progress made during its operation.
A Look Back: The Industry in 2011
When Adoption-Share was founded, the landscape of private infant adoption was marked by significant challenges. Families seeking to adopt often relied on traditional, brick-and-mortar agencies, investing substantial financial resources only to “take a number” and wait—sometimes indefinitely—for an adoption opportunity. These agencies frequently matched expectant parents with adoptive families based not on suitability or connection, but on the financial needs of the adoption and the financial capacities of prospective families. This transactional approach left many feeling disheartened, and the lack of transparency often created further barriers.
A New Way Forward
Adoption-Share set out to change this paradigm. By providing families with a direct, digital connection to licensed agencies and adoption attorneys across the United States, we eliminated the need for outdated and opaque practices. This innovative tool allowed thousands of families to explore active adoption situations in a way that was ethical, efficient, and empowering. Over the past decade, Adoption-Share has facilitated countless connections, enabling families and expectant parents to build relationships founded on mutual understanding and trust.
A Legacy of Impact
For over 10 years, the Adoption-Share platform has served as a beacon of hope for families navigating the complexities of private infant adoption. It has been our privilege to support thousands of families on their adoption journeys and to collaborate with licensed professionals who share our commitment to ethical adoption practices.
As we close this chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude to the families, agencies, attorneys, and supporters who made this journey possible. While the network is ending, the mission of transparency and reform in adoption continues. We are confident that the progress made will inspire future innovations in the field.
Thank you for being a part of the Adoption-Share story. Together, we have made a lasting difference in the lives of countless children and families.
