Adoption
Our Hague-accredited adoption program is the longest-operating program of its kind in Maine.
The Maine Children's Home has placed children in loving adoptive homes since 1899. We are a comprehensive adoption agency, offering professional services and support to all members of the adoption triad which includes adoptive parents, birth parents, and adoptees.

Since adoption is a life-long commitment, we firmly believe in an educational process that allows you to make informed decisions. The Maine Children's Home also believes in making a life-long commitment to the families it serves. Our caring staff members are here to guide you through the entire process and to support you long after the adoption has taken place.
Our experienced adoption staff is ready to help find the best program to meet your needs. Please fill out our inquiry form or call us today at (207) 873-6350 to learn more.
