Open Adoption & Family Services

Family Building · Connecticut · Free

Adoption agency with strong LGBTQ+ inclusion and support. A starting point for foster parents navigating training, licensure, and matching with LGBTQ+ youth in care. Foster training is free in every state and takes about 30 hours plus home study (~2–4 months total). Pre-birth orders in surrogacy let both intended parents go on the birth certificate without post-birth adoption in supportive states. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Connecticut residents and the people supporting them.
