1 Agency Directory 2012 A guide to licensed adoption agencies affiliated directly or indirectly with Fellows of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys American Academy of Adoption Attorneys

2 Dear Fellow AAAA Members: On behalf of the Agency Committee, we are very pleased to offer this updated 2012 AAAA Directory of Adoption Agencies. This Directory includes updated and new information about adoption agencies affiliated with AAAA members throughout the United States and Canada as offered by Academy members responding to the Agency Committee's request. The profiles of agencies included in this Directory are reproduced with information exactly as submitted other than minor editing for formatting. The purpose of this Agency Directory is to provide other Academy Fellows and members of the public with information about adoption agencies that have an affiliation with one or more current AAAA member. This Directory does not purport to be a complete listing of all adoption agencies, nor even a complete listing of all AAAA member-affiliated agencies. The information here is limited to those responses received by Academy members. The Academy does not endorse, sponsor, rate or otherwise formally approve of any adoption agencies. The fact that an agency is listed in this Directory should not be construed as an endorsement of that agency by the Academy. It is strongly suggested that you independently confirm the information listed in this Directory. Notwithstanding those limitations, we hope that this Directory will be helpful to those who seek information about adoption agencies that are affiliated with Academy members. My sincere thanks to all the members of the Academy who responded to requests to update this Directory and to the Agency Committee for all of its work in completing this project. Mark M. Demaray, President Directory generated 10 May Page 2 of 153
