Open Adoption & Family Services (OA&FS) is a nonprofit organization in the Pacific Northwest that supports expectant, birth, and prospective adoptive parents through all stages of adoption. Established in 1985, the agency emphasizes openness in adoption and offers all-options counseling to help individuals explore pregnancy choices in a respectful environment, with a focus on facilitating child-centered open adoptions when that path is chosen. The services extend to post-placement support for adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families, guided by perspectives from people with lived adoption experience. OA&FS operates in Oregon and Washington, with offices in Portland, Eugene, and Seattle, and serves clients across the United States. The organization positions itself within the individual and family services sector, aiming to create long-term, healthy relationships among birth parents, adoptive families, and adoptees. In addition to its core counseling and placement activities, OA&FS maintains a collaborative history with Boys & Girls Aid since its founding, reflecting its long-standing engagement with ethical open adoption practices.
