We guide birth parents, adoptive families and children through safe, legal, loving adoption in Virginia — from first call to final decree and beyond.
VirginiaAdoption.org is a nonprofit, licensed child-placing agency headquartered in Richmond with offices in Virginia Beach, Arlington, Roanoke and Charlottesville. We believe adoption is not a transaction — it's a lifelong relationship built on honesty, respect and love.
Founded by social workers and adoptive parents, we have completed over 2,400 adoptions under Virginia Code §63.2-1200. Our team includes licensed clinical social workers, attorneys, birth-parent advocates and adult adoptees. We serve all — single parents, LGBTQ+ families, military families at Norfolk, Quantico and Fort Belvoir, and families of every faith and background.
From home studies to final court hearings in Richmond, Fairfax, Virginia Beach and Roanoke — we handle legal, social and emotional details so you can focus on family.
