Founded in 2014, Building Families is the Columbia, South Carolina region’s only law firm focusing solely on adoption and surrogacy. Offering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all, the firm helps individuals and couples to build their families through adoption and surrogacy, providing legal and agency services to clients across the state in all aspects of the adoption and surrogacy process.<\/p>\n
Building Families’ mission is to meet the needs of our clients throughout their adoption and surrogacy journeys, walking them through each phase of the process step by step, while creating an environment of inclusion, where expectant mothers don’t feel ashamed and all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or relationship status, are supported and encouraged through their adoption or assisted reproduction journey.<\/p>\n
While open adoptions are not mandatory, Building Families believes in the importance of open adoptions with a triad-focused approach, ensuring that the expectant mother, child and adoptive parent(s) are connected and included throughout the entire journey. At Building Families, the birth mother is empowered and supported throughout the adoption process.<\/p>\n
