Common Sense is more than just a licensed, non-profit adoption and foster care agency.

We are a dedicated team of compassionate professionals who are here to guide and empower anyone considering adoption or foster care. Our mission is simple: To help you understand the process and navigate your journey with confidence.

We know that each family’s situation is unique, which is why we offer more than just adoption and foster care services. Our consulting services are designed to assist families in determining the parenting scenario that will work best for them. We understand the importance of making informed choices and finding the right path that aligns with your individual circumstances.

We honor the diversity of families and situations we serve, recognizing that every family is unique and deserving of love and support.
