Open Adoption & Family Services
Resources for Expectant Parents and Adoptive Families
You have choices. We’ll support and empower you.
At Open Adoption & Family Services, we support pregnant women and couples in making decisions about their pregnancy options – parenting, abortion, adoption – in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. We’re a pro-choice agency that welcomes diversity. Our fully open adoptions include ongoing visits and lifelong services.

Other agencies did not talk to me the way the staff at OA&FS did. You share something that makes you different from everyone else.
Are you pregnant or parenting?
Call us to speak with a counselor.
Are you pregnant or parenting? Or is your partner, or someone close to you, pregnant or parenting? When you talk to our counselors, you’ll find the understanding and support you’re seeking. Call any time, day or night, 1-800-772-1115.
We’re honored to offer our services to women and couples throughout the United States. If you live in Oregon or Washington and would like to meet in person we have offices in Portland and Eugene, Oregon and Seattle, Washington or we’ll come to you. We can also meet remotely via Google Hangout, Zoom, Facetime, or Skype. (OA&FS can place children in adoption up to the age of three and one-half.)
