Why Choose Small Miracles Over Other Agencies?

“Boutique” Agency

There are significant differences between Small Miracles and other agencies. We characterize ourselves as a “Boutique” adoption agency because we are careful and selective in who we represent, restricting our adopting clients list of 18-25 couples.

The mandatory Adoption Preparation Seminars are limited to three couples, to a maximum of four, per session to ensure intimacy. We usually plan for quarterly seminars (four times a year).

Presently, we are working on offering a micro-seminar which will provide important information for couples to consider prior to registering and paying for the two-day session. We will provide additional information on the micro sessions as it becomes available. Registration for these sessions will be online.

Why Do We Choose to Operate in this manner?

Adoption is very intimate process

It is vitally important that Small Miracles Adoption establishes and maintains close and current relationships with all of our adopting couples. While this is important in our work with clients, it is particularly important when we select and present them to prospective birthparents for matching purposes.

The timeliness of adoption is important

By keeping our Adopting Couples List small, there is a greater chance that they will be placed with a child more quickly than if we held a list of 50 or 100 families. This is important because we want our couples to remain current with the information they receive from our seminar.

Lives on hold

Additionally, we do not want our Adopting Couples to have their lives on hold for any longer a period than practical. Please note, if you are not placed with a child within one year of your homestudy being approved, a yearly update to the report is mandatory (as per legislation).

We Care About Your Money

Reasonable Fees and No Annual List Fee

Adoption represents a significant expense. Each Adoption Agency determines its own fee schedule. Our fees are consistently at, or below, what is being charged by other agencies. Small Miracles Adoption does not have an annual fee for being on our list.
