Choosing a family is a big decision, and it is your decision to make. Tell us what you are looking for; your expectations and values guide this selection process. We want you to feel completely comfortable with the family you choose. Lifestyle? Hobbies? Pets? Other children? City life? Religion or spiritual beliefs? These are things you might consider when making your choice.

At Open Arms, we are highly selective about who will be prospective parents. Our job is to help facilitate a match that feels right for you. We do this by performing extensive background checks, conducting home studies, meeting with and interviewing families face-to-face, and requiring personal recommendations for hopeful adopting families.
