Families come in all shapes, sizes, interests, and abilities.

You may be wondering if you have what it takes to become an adoptive or foster parent.
We don't need you to be perfect. It is not necessary for you to be rich.
We won’t even ask you if you own your home, or about what kind of car you drive.
Another Choice is not concerned with what you have.
We need what you can give from your heart.
We are looking for a few good folks to provide a safe, loving home for some great children.

To help you explore opening your home and heart to a child, here are some available resources:

• To get started, please take a moment to answer a few questions.
• To browse photo listings of children who are waiting for families, visit AdoptNCKids.org
• When finished, you may download, fill out, and send us the Foster/Adoption Family Survey
  (Download: Page 1 & Page 2)
• Read some Testimonials from people whose lives have been changed by Another Choice.
• Check out our Family Services, designed to support the growth and well-being of our families.

“Sharon and I had been married for eight years. Prior to our marriage we had talked about having birth children, but we also wanted to adopt. Our first son, Oree came to us when he was barely eight months old. Since his adoption, we have been blessed with three more children Zion, Isaiah and our birth son, Solomon.

Another Choice is more than an agency- they are part of our family. The support they have provided to us has been unbelievable. ”
--Tommy and Sharon

“We came in for one son. We made it clear from the start. We only wanted one child. Well, we learned early on that Another Choice doesn’t know anything about one. The staff kept preaching to us 'keep your hearts open...'Well, we ended up adopting two boys. They were meant for us.”
--Fred and Bettye

“I never thought I would be an adoptive dad. The odds were certainly not in my favor. I had come from a very difficult background and even spent some time in foster care. But, I made a promise to myself that one day, I would adopt. Like so many folks, I came in with the intentions of adopting one son. But, I have been blessed to become an adoptive parent of two sons. I cannot imagine my life without them.”
--Raymond

“They told us we would have to go to all these classes. I was not too happy about that since my husband and I had already raised two children. But during the classes, I learned about the foster care experience. I also learned some things about myself. It really helped us to be prepared for the three brothers and sisters that we adopted.”
--Leroy & Hattie

 

“If you are looking to adopt an older child, you should look no further than Another Choice. They were right there with me during both of my adoptions. I adopted a 12 year old girl, and a couple of years later, adopted a teenager. During my first adoption, which was a rocky start, I did wonder if the agency would hang in there after our adoption was finalized. Not only did they hang in there, they have become a part of our extended family.
The staff at Another Choice is always there for me. My adoption has been finalized over three years, and my daughters are still involved in Teen Konnection and other programs offered through the agency.”
