Adoptions from the Heart

"Adoptions From The Heart" ("AFTH") - private non-profit agency organizing international and domestic adoptions. Based in Pennsylvania, USA. They also offer home study only services and free services to pregnant women.

Since its foundation in 1985, the Agency helped to place over 4,900 infants to families (by 2007). It also operates Charity Missions in different countries of the world (Vietnam, India, China, Kazakhstan, Guatemala, Russia, Ukraine, USA), aiming to improve living conditions for children in orphanages. Charity missions include refurbishing unsafe orphanage buildings, replacing crumbling walls and ceilings, updating play areas by providing safe playground equipment, supplying cribs, beds, dolls and other furnishings for children overseas.
