About Us Children in our Haitian adoptions program

Lighthouse Adoptions is a Colorado Licensed Child Placement Agency, specializing in international adoptions. We exist to place children in need in permanent, stable, loving, adoptive homes.

Our address is:
Lighthouse Adoptions
1807 S. Pearl St.
Denver, CO 80210

The agency is especially dedicated to finding permanent homes for children over three years of age and sibling groups. We will not separate sibling groups if we feel there is any chance they might be placed together. Adoptive families of all races, colors. national origins and religions will be considered without prejudice.

Parent support and education is very important to the success of an adoption and the comfort of our children's transitions to their new homes. We strive to provide the best services possible for our parents, before, during, and forever after the adoption process. All of our staff are knowledgeable parents with a lifelong dedication to helping children in need. Many of our staff members are adoptive parents and or foster parents, giving them a true understanding of the adoptive process and life with adopted children. Each Lighthouse family is assigned a Family Liaison who will guide them throughout the entire adoptive process with loving care and concern. We encourage you to give us a call with whatever questions you have about international adoption.

In addition to seeking and preparing families to parent our children, Lighthouse provides financial and emotional support to the children who wait in our sponsored Haitian orphanage. Tax-deductible donations and child sponsorships keep our children fed, clothed, and cared for 'round the clock. In Haiti, a little bit of help goes a long way. We exist to serve these children. You can help.
