Spence-Chapin Adoption Services

Family Building · Ohio · Free

LGBTQ+ inclusive adoption agency since 1908. For LGBTQ+ individuals and couples building families through adoption, foster, surrogacy, IUI, IVF, or co-parenting arrangements. Foster training is free in every state and takes about 30 hours plus home study (~2–4 months total). Reciprocal IVF (one partner provides eggs, another carries) is increasingly available and many states now require coverage. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
