The business that we have formed is a private adoption agency. Formed in 1997, we have successfully handled over 600 adoptions. We are located in Clearwater, Fl and came about as a joint effort of six women who wanted to come together to help other girls and women in need of finding a home for their babies and for providing loving parents with a healthy child. Each of us are equal owners in the business and have invested financially in our company. We also strive to be wise and resourceful in seeing that ll aspects of our business run smoothly.
We consist of four women, educated with social work backgrounds and two of us are attorneys. This ensures that we can contribute to both the counseling that will be necessary and also cover the legal aspects of any binding contracts that will arise with the adoption process. (SH) In the world of adoption we understand that couples have many choices and agencies available to them.
The media and other outlets are also an nending source of bad experiences about the adoption process. Because of this we understand that our company will always face challenges in this industry. However, we approach our calling to this field by giving of our time, experience, and love of what we do. It is our hope that by giving of ourselves to our adoptee children, clients, and our community, our company will stand out not only in the adoption industry, but in the business community as well.

Friends of Hope also specializes in the adoption of frozen embryos. This service enables the adoption of frozen embryos that are transferred by IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization. This special adoption process gives adults with frozen embryos a chance to give them up for adoption rather than destroy them. It is also a great adoption alternative for some parents who would like to experience the pregnancy and birth process, but are unable to conceive through conventional methods. (TR)
