Our Special Families

At Adoption Minnesota we have many families who would like to have you consider them as adoptive parents for your child. These families have placed letters in our "Dear Birth Parent" book and some of them are posted on this website. Please contact us by calling our toll free Birth Parent number, 1-888-333-2275, so we can find out what you are looking for in an adoptive family. Then we can send you Dear Birth Parent letters from those families who meet your requirements.
