“I’m Nancy Johnson and I have been helping birthparents with adoption decisions and planning for over thirty years. The courage of birthparents as I watch them love and provide for their children through adoption continues to both amaze and humble me. My goal is to always provide the most loving and personal care I can for anyone considering this choice.”
“Hello, my name is Maureen Reilly and I have walked the journey with adoptive couples and birthparents for over 25 years. As an adoptive parent I empathize with their desire to parent, and if not by conception then by loving agreement, adoption can make that possible. My commitment is to be a guide through the adoption process and to help couples develop a genuine empathy for the needs of birthparents … a relationship of trust and respect.
Open Adoption Services is a program of Spokane Consultants in Family Living, a licensed child-placing agency. Our office is in Spokane Washington and we have been providing caring, supportive service to adoptive and birth families for over 25 years. Our work involves placement of both infants and young children. We are happy to facilitate a closed confidential adoption if chosen by birthparent(s). We also provide attachment therapy, home studies for independent, step, and international adoption, and also general counseling for any of the issues of adoption, current or long-term.
We have remained a small personal agency by choice. Over these years we have learned that knowing our birthparents and adoptive parents well leads us to the best success in adoption. Open Adoption Services is built around both professional training and personal experience in adoption. We have raised children in both open and closed adoptions and have watched them mature in their understanding of the love of their birth and adoptive parents.
