Adoption Network

Family Building · Maine · Free

Resources for adoption including LGBTQ+ inclusive agencies. A starting point for foster parents navigating training, licensure, and matching with LGBTQ+ youth in care. Fertility preservation (egg/sperm banking) is best done before hormone therapy; insurance increasingly covers this. Marriage equality made some family-building easier but second-parent adoption is still recommended for travel across hostile states. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Maine residents and the people supporting them.
