            Overview

            LifeLong Adoptions provides marketing and advertising services that assist biological parents considering adoption and prospective adoptive parents to connect with each other, and provides support and referral services throughout the process. Though we specialize in adoption for the LGBTQIA+ community, we are proud to accept adoption applications from all types of families.

            Products & Services

            Our strategic adoption marketing and advertising services provide hopeful adoptive families with a level of exposure well beyond the capabilities of a traditional adoption agency, offering the greatest chances of being chosen by a prospective birthparent and having a successful adoption. For birth parents, we help them explore adoption in a safe and non-judgmental environment, create an adoption plan that fits their preferences, and browse adoptive family profiles in hopes of finding the best family for their baby.

            Lifelong Adoptions scammed my wife and I out of more than $17,000 + fees and interest.They assured us that they were a reputable adoption agency; however they did nothing for us as soon as the contract was signed, disappearing from the face of the earth. They eventually set us up with a coordinator, who selected several birth moms who either were clearly not interested or had already previous went with someone else.

            I would give a zero stars if I could. They take on way more couples than they can give quality attention and guidance to. They vastly overstate their metrics. They prey on the ***** community. They are also way more expensive than much more quality agencies, lawyer, and consultants. We were with Lifelong for almost 3 years with no success and with our first match at our consultant we placed. The difference was night and day. Save yourself the heartache and pass on Lifelong.
