Birth parents and adoptive families share what made the difference.
When you need to make decisions about an unexpected pregnancy, A Bond of Love is here to help.
Adoption is a courageous, selfless parenting decision. Yes, adoption is a parenting decision, which may sound strange to some. Expectant moms who make the decision to place their child for adoption have decided that it would be best for the child to be parented by another family; one who can provide all of the things they may not be able to provide as a parent at that time. Adoption is not abandonment; it’s making a plan for someone else to parent your child.
I did not ‘give away’ my baby girl, I prayed through every decision I made for us.

We build families with love
A Bond of Love (ABL) was founded in 1992 because something was missing from the adoption process: the flexibility for birth parents and adoptive families to shape their own plan, especially around openness and staying connected. More than three decades later, that’s still what sets us apart. As a small, non-profit agency rather than a large corporate one, we’re able to give every family the kind of personal, hands-on attention that gets lost at scale.
We’ve walked alongside expectant mothers as young as 11 and as old as 45, each with a completely different story, and we’ve built families across the country while remaining based in Sarasota, Florida. Recognized with the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute’s Angels in Adoption Award in 2005, and a proud member of the Florida Adoption Council, ABL remains committed to one thing: building families with love.
As a domestic adoption agency we offer remote services to families across the United States from our two locations in Florida.
In Sarasota we're located at 2813 Forest Lane.
