Questions about adoption?
Trained and caring professionals are ready to help you in a timely manner. Please look through our Adoption Agency Resource Chart or contact info@aoci.org for help finding someone to talk with.

Need Financial Help?
Anyone who carries a pregnancy to term and places her child for adoption has made a series of loving and difficult decisions. She also has special needs. Her emotions are under stress, and her supporting personal relationships are probably strained or absent. Her adoption plan brings additional expenses that are overlooked by governmental assistance and by insurance. She may be overwhelmed by the challenges of beginning her life over again.

Assistance is available by the Adoption Option Committee, Inc. (AOCI) subject to funding and to the appropriate nature of the grant request. AOCI's interest is to make grants that help Minnesota women who made an adoption plan build new and independent lives. Email us at info@aoci.org for more information.
