Philosophy

Family Tree Adoption Agency is a ‘child-centered’ agency. We believe that the child is the ‘central focus’ of the adoption and all decisions made must reflect the best interests of the child.

Our agency name is a symbol of our philosophy. Just like a tree, the roots are represented by the birth family. They are the anchor and the foundation of the tree. The leaves of the tree represent the adoptive parents. The leaves reach to the sun for strength and energy. The trunk of the tree represents the child. The trunk embodies the entire life flow of the tree between the roots and leaves. The tree must always retain its roots, trunk and leaves, which without it cannot survive.

Family Tree Adoption Agency supports the mutual participation of the Adoption Circle that provides a responsible and positive environment from which everyone benefits, most importantly the adopted child.
