Adoption Source began as a small community adoption agency. We saw ourselves serving the needs of our immediate neighborhood. Our goal was to have a friendly, well-informed, knowledgeable staff member available to greet each phone call. We never wanted any prospective adoptive parent to feel like a number. We saw that the most successful adoption was one in which the needs of the adoptive parent was anticipated and met.

Adoption Source will never accept a larger number of clients than our programs can handle without compromising our dedication to service. Adoption Source will never compromise our dedication to the children we serve.

In the six years since its inception, we have metamorphosed from a small community agency, to serving families across the United States and U.S. Citizens living abroad.

On our recent trip to Russia this past September, Jeannette Cohen and I had the honor of meeting with the Vice-Governor in Orenburg, and believe that our very positive reception will further ease the process in the region and assist in finding forever families for the beautiful children there.

We also had the honor of being interviewed by the government TV channel in Tyumen. Our discussions were very well received in the region. A true highlight of the trip to Tyumen was the opportunity to tour the Fortula Children’s Center. We toured the facility with the Director of the Center and the Minister of Education in the region. We were very impressed with the groundbreaking philosophies of social and educational integration of the older children who reside in the facility. It is our fervent goal and dream for the future to begin our own summer camp program to assist these wonderful older children in finding their forever families.

Although exhausting, we feel our trip to Russia was extremely successful. We look forward to all the changes in the coming year.

It is our promise to all the families and children we serve, that we will never allow ourselves to grow too large to where our “small town agency” philosophy will change.

We will bear the tremendous costs of accreditation and maintenance of our accreditation costs without passing these financial burdens on to our adoptive families.

We will work hard along with all the other agencies to try to help each and every child find the way to their family.

We will continue to travel personally to all the regions we work with to keep up our close and personal relationships with our regional staff, thus enabling us to better serve our adoptive families.

We will continue our financial support of the orphanages we work with to improve the day-to-day lives of the children who still remain behind. We proudly saw the differences the adoption funds have made in the playgrounds built, the muddy walkways, which are now paved, and the availability of much needed medical supplies. We proudly commit ourselves in our dedication to the children of the world, one child at a time.

We thank all our adoptive families for their faith and support throughout the years. We don’t take lightly that so many of our families have referred their friends and neighbors to our agency. We have worked hard for your confidence, and will continue to strive to deserve the faith you have placed in us, one child at a time…..

My wishes to all the Adoption Source families, all the families we have helped bring together, and all the people whose lives you have touched, a safe, healthy and happy holiday season.

Jill Scott
Director of Adoptions
