Dear Prospective Parents:

It is with much enthusiasm that we welcome you to Little Treasures. Whether you are just beginning to explore the world of adoption; or are ready to make a full commitment; we are pleased to share our knowledge and experience to help you on your journey.

Adoption is a beautiful way to begin or to expand your family. Our goal is to build loving families through adoption. The adoption process is exciting. It can also be described as an emotional roller-coaster requiring patience, flexibility, and understanding. We are here to help you with every step of the process. We are adoptive parents of two little girls born abroad and we understand the complexities and unpredictable circumstances that may be encountered. We know that by working closely together with you, we can complete all the steps necessary to bring you the most joyous results, your child home!

Little Treasures Adoption Services, Inc., founded in 1996, is licensed by the Rhode Island Department of Children Youth and Families. Already having two biological sons, it was our wish to expand our family. In October of 1992 we traveled to Ukraine to bring our daughter Anna, home at the age of four months. In 1996, we traveled to Romania to bring home Daniela who was then three years old. Both girls were lovingly welcomed by their big brothers and to this day their relationship flourishes. As a result of these experiences we became committed to helping other people, who were also in the process of adopting, form families through adoption. Out of this desire and commitment, Little Treasures was born.

Recognizing that there are children who may never know the joy of a permanent loving family, we are also committed to providing aid and assistance to the children left behind.

Little Treasures sponsors and supports child welfare projects in several countries. We are always happy to accept donations in the form of clothing, medicines, and financial contributions to help these needy children . Please contact our office if you wish to help.

Our family brings us great joy, and we are now living the fulfillment that adoption has brought into our lives. It is our greatest wish that we can help you bring this joy into your life! We know you will find adoption a most rewarding experience, and it will be our greatest pleasure to help you become a family through adoption.
