Adoption S.T.A.R. specializes in both domestic and international placements.

Domestic Adoption:
Primarily infants are placed in the domestic program. The agency may take custody of an infant and place immediately in the adoptive family or they may collaborate with other agencies or attorneys to help identify a home for one of their infants or young children. By registering with Adoption S.T.A.R., you not only have the ability to be considered for an infant referral through the agency's domestic adoption program but through referrals from other child-placing agencies that collaborate with Adoption S.T.A.R.

Adoption S.T.A.R. places infants of all races and primarily receives referrals of infants who are Caucasian, Biracial or African American born in the United States. Many of these children are considered healthy, while some are born with special needs or at-risk for developing special needs. The agency operates a Traditional Agency Program as well as an Agency-Assisted Private Adoption Program and an International Adoption Program.
