What is an adoption exchange?

Adoption Exchanges are here to provide families and professionals with local and regional support and advocacy. The main role of all exchange's is to provide family specific recruitment for waiting children, break down placement barriers, educate their local, and regional adoption community, and help families navigate through the adoption and foster care maze.

What our exchange does …

• FLO is the only independent national Adoption Exchange, that means we work with all families and professionals, in all states. Most exchanges are tied to a specific state, county or region, we do not work that way.
• FLO strongly advocates for all pre & post adoptive and foster families and youth, GLBT and non GLBT alike
• FLO was established as a peer-to-peer, volunteer network of families and professionals that share the same goal, which still continues today
• FLO creatively breaks down placement barriers for kids, families and professionals
