Building forever families

At Open Arms Adoptions, we celebrate the diversity of families and believe that every child deserves a loving and supportive home.

We are committed to providing LGBTQ+ individuals and couples with comprehensive support and guidance throughout the adoption journey, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

LGBTQ+ Adoption

Embracing Inclusion in Adoption

If you are LGBTQ+ and are seeking to adopt, Open Arms Adoptions can help with your adoption in Ohio! We work with people who want to adopt infants and children needing to be adopted from foster care. You have the option to be in one or both programs.

All our social workers are sensitive to the different needs and issues that those in the LGBTQ+ community face.

Everyone who wants to adopt must attend rigorous training and undergo an extensive home study. The fact is, your sexual orientation is NOT and never should be a disqualifying factor or a barrier keeping you from having the family you want.

The only reason I found my son was (Jackie). During the process, there were obstacles, challenges and the only one who stuck by my side and fought for my son, his birth mother and myself was Jackie. If it was not for Jackie, I wouldn’t have my son today.

My wife Lisa and I wholeheartedly recommend Open Arms Adoptions to anyone interested in adopting a child. Jackie knows her stuff, works very hard, and really cares about everyone involved in the process. Choosing Open Arms as our agency was one of the best decisions we've ever made.
