Welcome to Adoption ARK

Illinois Child Welfare Agency, License #429659-02

Adoption ARK is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), Hague Accrdited, international adoption agency that has facilitated hundreds of successful international adoptions for U.S. families.  Adoption ARK has programs in Russia, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Bulgaria, HungaryGhana, Uganda, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine. Our directors started Adoption ARK with a desire to help orphans from all over the world. With that goal in mind, we have successfully found loving homes for over 800 orphans.


Due to country-specific laws and restrictions, we are not able to post photos of all the wonderful children waiting for you in different countries around the world. However, you can request information about our country programs by filling out our online registration form and one of our adoption consultants will walk you through the country-specific referral process that will lead you to your future child.

Adoption ARK provides adoption services to all qualified parents. We will carefully guide you through every stage of the adoption process. You will never feel alone or misinformed. One of our greatest strengths is honesty. We believe educated and well-informed clients will make the best parents! All our clients are a part of our own Adoption ARK family, and we would love to invite you to also become a part of the ARK family. If you would like to speak with some of our parents about their experience with international adoption and Adoption ARK, please contact us and a list of references will be provided for you. You can also read our success stories that were written by adoptive parents.  Possessing their own unique, honest, heartfelt insights and feelings, our families have a wide range of adoption experience from infants to older children


Our staff is comprised of experienced adoption specialists and among them professionally-trained adoptive parents and bilingual parent coordinators who consider adoption to be not just a job but a true calling. Many of our staff members have lived in the countries for which we provide adoption services and therefore deeply understand the people and the culture of these regions. We believe this has developed a unique bond in our international adoption programs between our staff and their country-specific counterparts. These personal relationships are a vital component in the facilitation of a successful international adoption. Some of our adoption consultants are not only adoptive parents, but they are also former Adoption ARK clients who were so pleased with their own experiences that they wanted to help many other hopeful parents experience the joy of adoption. The beautiful children we have placed range in age from infant to older children of up to 16 years of age.

Adoption ARK a licensed child welfare agency located in Illinois.  We provide home study services for Illinois residents.  We host adoption seminars about our international adoption programs for Russia, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Bulgaria, Hungary, GhanaUganda, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine at our office in Buffalo Grove, Illinois and online via webinars. Information on adoption issues and home studies are also provided. We provide adoption education as well as pre- and post-placement services.



Our international adoption agency also provides financial assistance and donations to orphanages in our various countries through our charity fundraising department. Adoption ARK also holds yearly summer hosting programs for children from orphanages in Russia and the Ukraine.



If you are missing something in your life, if you wish to help a child who was born and abandoned in another country, if you have space in your heart and home to add another boy or girl, if you are willing to share the riches of your heart with a child in need, if you are ready to adopt, we are here to help! Together we can find each child a family and each family a child, and we look forward to the day when you find the blessing of parenthood. May God Bless You!

Sincerely,
The Adoption ARK Team
