Adoptive Parents

Brian offers complete, comprehensive and individual adoption services to birth mothers and adoptive parents in a professional, caring and supportive manner. He provides assistance, legal advice and representation for identified, interstate, and family adoptions. He also locates and matches expectant mothers interested in placing their child into a quality, loving family environment with adoptive parents.

Limited Prospective Parent List

Unlike many agencies and other adoption professionals, Brian Kelly maintains a short list of prospective adoptive parents. Your profile will be presented to birth mothers more often, which greatly reduces the average waiting time to receive a baby.

Because birth mothers select the prospective adoptive family by reviewing the profile you prepare, it cannot be determined how quickly you will be matched. The less restrictive you are on the type of child and adoption that interests you, the less wait you may have.
