PAFS staff would like to announce that the agency is officially closing on December 31, 2025, but this isn’t the end of the services and support you’ve come to rely on. This is simply a new chapter. While PAFS as an agency is closing its doors, we will continue our work in adoption through a new partnership with American Adoptions. This partnership will allow PAFS staff members to keep walking alongside families in the adoption journey, offering you the same personal, high-quality support with the added benefit of the expanded resources and national reach that American Adoptions provides. Though the name has changed, our commitment to you and to ethical, compassionate adoption remains exactly the same.
Continued Services Under a New Name
We're excited to share that we are partnering with American Adoptions to continue offering the same high-quality adoption services you've come to trust. While the name and branding may be different, we're still here, continuing to serve families with the same heart and dedication that we always. have.
Why this Change Makes Sense Now
With the changing landscape of adoption services in Georgia including shifts in the ICPC process, an influx of new licensed agencies, and growing state regulations, it made more sense to join together rather than operating independently. This collaboration allows us to strengthen our services and better meet the needs of our clients.
What this means for PAFS current clients:
*You will experience a seamless continuation of services.
​
*You will continue to work with familiar faces.
*You will gain access to the expanded resources and support available through American Adoptions.
