The adoption journey is never easy. It\u2019s always an emotional experience. However, amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, e-learning, stay-at-home orders, and court closings, both birth parents and couples hoping to grow their family through adoption<\/a> in 2020 face uniquely different circumstances than others have experienced in the past.<\/p>\n On average, just over 100,000 adoptions take place in the United States each year. This means that since the state-wide lockdowns began in March, there should have been around 54,000 adoptions. While we don\u2019t have the real-time numbers of adoptions completed during this past six-month period, it\u2019s certainly lower than in previous years.<\/p>\n Heart of Adoptions, Inc<\/a> is working in various ways to support both adoptive families and women facing an unplanned pregnancy in Florida<\/a> during these strange times. Most of our staff are now working remotely, however, we still have members of the team in at least one of our offices every day.<\/p>\n Several Ways Our Agency is Working Around COVID-19<\/strong><\/p>\n We are all working our way through this new normal. Like you, we\u2019re adapting the best we can and doing our best to continue to support hopeful adoptive families and birth parents. If you have any questions, please give us a call. We will help you work through the adoption process while working around your county\/state restrictions.<\/p>\n We\u2019re available 24\/7, 365 days a year at 1-800-GO-ADOPT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The adoption journey is never easy.
