Mission
ABL IS A NON-PROFIT, LICENSED CHILD-PLACING AGENCY THAT OFFERS A UNIQUE BLEND OF ADOPTION SERVICES TO MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF BIRTH PARENTS AND PROSPECTIVE ADOPTIVE COUPLES. THE FULL SPECTRUM OF SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH AN ADOPTION AGENCY, COMBINED WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TRADITIONALLY ASSOCIATED WITH INDEPENDENT ATTORNEY PLACEMENTS, PROVIDE FOR PERSONAL FREEDOM AND CHOICES FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE ADOPTION TRIAD.
