Welcome to AFIS

  Adoptive Families With Information & Support (AFIS) is a nonprofit organization founded more than 25 years ago by   adoptive parents in the state of Delaware.

  As these families worked with local agencies to finalize their children's adoptions, they came to learn that adoption is    a lifetime journey that continues long after the process has been finalized.

  They recognized the need for a way to connect with other adoptive families- to share both the victories and struggles   of this journey.

  AFIS was made up of just a few families initially and over the years has grown to a membership of more than 600   individuals, families, and professionals whose lives have been touched by adoption.

  AFIS is not affiliated with, nor are we, an adoption agency. We are a volunteer organization dedicated to providing   the information, support, and encouragement necessary to improve the quality of life within adoptive families.

  Every adoption experience is unique and our families reflect the diversity of those experiences.
