Who We Are:


Founded in 1887 by the Episcopal Sisters of St. Mary, our dedicated counselors provide preparation and placement services to families pursuing domestic infant adoption, as well as counsel women experiencing unplanned pregnancies who are considering adoption. We help both birth and adoptive families before, during and after placement. St. Mary’s also facilitates home study and post placement services for international adoptions.

Whether it is a pregnant woman looking for understanding, counsel and a non-judgmental, listening ear or an adoptive parent seeking education and guidance, we meet and exceed their needs. Above all, we work in the best interest of the children we serve.

This is just a snapshot of who St. Mary’s is. We hope that if you are in need of our services, you will get to know us better. We are here to help you or someone you know understand their options and learn more about the miracle of adoption.



At St. Mary’s, every adoptive family receives counseling and placement services that are personalized to their
specific needs.
