Overview

Mission

Adoption Resource Associates is a private non-profit, full service, licensed adoption agency. Our mission is to support and nurture individuals and couples who want to expand their family through adoption. We believe strongly in the importance of serving all who come to us without regard for family structure, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity or income level. We are committed to educating, counseling and offering support. Our goal is to empower adoptive parents throughout the entire adoption process.

What it reported doing in 2022

Adoption Resource Associates has helped many families with pre-adoption consulting, such as home studies, adoption services and post-placement services, such as counseling and in-home follow up visits.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
