• Every child has a right to life from the first moment of conception.
• The best interest of the child is our guiding principle in all decisions.
• An adoption plan designed by the Birth Parents should provide a loving stable home which promotes the child’s development and spiritual growth.
• Openness among the participants of the adoption triangle is desirable.
