Independent Adoption Center. Clients of Independent Adoption Center received a notice saying, “Independent Adoption Center (IAC) is declaring Chapter 7 bankruptcy and will be closing permanently effective immediately.” The professional staff of Adoption STAR is available to help any families that need guidance and support through this challenging time. Finding out your adoption agency closed its doors is overwhelming at any point in your adoption journey and we are prepared to help you through this. Adoptive parents or birth parents that need support can feel free to reach out to us toll free at 1-866-691-3300. For those families who lost thousands of dollars, our hearts go out to you. Our Board of Directors and CEO have come up with a transition plan that will assist Independent Adoption Center families causing minimal financial stress. Please know that while not everyone will be a good match for Adoption STAR, our professional staff is available to speak to anyone in need of guidance and support. We have developed strong relationships with other adoption providers throughout the country and would be happy to make introductions to those entities as well. While the status of infant adoption in the United States has changed over the years, Adoption STAR has seen an increase in child placements and does not see that decreasing anytime soon. In addition, Adoption STAR has answered the call to respond to the growing number of older children in the U.S. in need of adoptive placement. For more information, please contact us directly. Adoption STAR is licensed in Florida, Ohio and New York State and works with adoptive parents and birth parents nationwide. ]]>
