Adoption STAR is a HAGUE Accredited not-for-profit adoption agency with offices in New York, Ohio and Florida. Adoption STAR's goals are to find forever families for children in need and to educate and support adoptees, adoptive parents and birth parents on their lifelong adoption journey.

Adoption STAR believes that post adoption contact (open or semi open adoption) is what is best for everyone involved in most situations. Post adoption contact allows adoptees to not wonder about their background and culture, and gives them better access to their medical records. Post adoption contact can also be beneficial to birth parents, as it gives them a peace of mind that their child is happy and healthy. Post adoption contact also helps adoptive parents, as they do not have to wonder along with their child about their child's birth story.

Open and honest conversations among all members of the adoption journey is critical. It's important to begin speaking with your child about adoption (age appropriately) right from the start.
