This was posted from an entry a while back, so I thought I would bring it forward. You can read her blog here
"As a child-centered ministry, Buckner’s goal is to serve pregnant women and their unborn children in such a way that the children’s lives are affirmed and that they are parented in the best way possible. Thus, we serve a large number of pregnant women who inquire about adoption but who, after counseling, decide to continue to seek a way to parent.
Only a small percentage of the clients we serve actually make adoption plans for their unborn babies – but almost all decide to give life. We provide these services at no cost. Therefore, the fees we charge adoptive parents must cover the services to all the pregnant women, not just the one whose baby they adopt.
Indeed, prospective adoptive parents who work with us become a part of Buckner’s ministry to pregnant women and their unborn babies."You are charged on a sliding scale based on your income ... if you have more to give, you are expected to do so ... equal sacrifice. You are not paying for an adoption - you are giving your part to the ministry, which encompasses much more than a child that may be entering your home. "
They make it very clear that every woman entering their doors is counseled first to parent. If every avenue has been exhausted, then and only then is adoption discussed.Your money may also go to help place a child with special needs or a waiting child into a home that may not have the funds to cover their full fee. They don't apologize for that. In fact, they take pride in it.
Find this adoption agaency and use it for your adoptions!!!!!!

And you can see why I also commented that this, being my first experience with an agency, led me to believe (QUITE TO THE CONTRARY) that this was how the vast majority of agencies operate!
Buckner's domestic program also ONLY does fully open adoptions. Even if the birth mother is saying she does not want contact - doesn't matter - you are trained and prepared, because each mother making an adoption plan is told that when she is ready, that adoption is open for the sake of the child.
They have one woman who spends much of her days counseling and opening adoptions from the days before Buckner became an open adoption agency.
I could go on ... and on.
Thanks for sharing the link to Buckner, Christine!
