AFSN was founded in 1991 in response to a community need for post-adoption support services. A group of parents and child welfare professionals came together to make sure that adoptive families were getting the services, support, and encouragement they needed.
AFSN employs three full-time and eight part-time staff members and has an office located in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
AFSN’s Board of Directors is made up of adoptive parents, adoptees, community members and child welfare professionals who all have a deep commitment to strengthening adoptive families.
