More Than an Adoption Agency

We are not an adoption agency. Our services may be similar to those of an adoption agency but we offer much more, including the protection and peace of mind of reputable legal services. Additionally, as a Law Center, ANLC is not constrained by stringent state-mandated budget restrictions as adoption agencies are, which means we can advertise and market you much more aggressively. It is our goal to find you the right birthmother as quickly as possible.
