Open Adoption & Family Services
Family Building · Ohio · Free
Adoption agency with strong LGBTQ+ inclusion and support. Relevant for couples needing second-parent adoption to protect both parents' rights regardless of biology. Second-parent adoption typically takes 4–8 months and costs
,500–4,000 depending on state. Reciprocal IVF (one partner provides eggs, another carries) is increasingly available and many states now require coverage. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
