Founded in 1979 and licensed as a child-placement agency in 1982, Love Basket has been building families through adoption for over 25 years.
Internationally, Love Basket features adoption programs and also provides humanitarian aid to destitute children and families in countries around the world. Love Basket was approved in 2008 to serve as a provider of adoption services under the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption.
Love Basket’s domestic (US-born infant) program began in 1985, in response to requests for help from women in the midst of unplanned pregnancies. This program has grown steadily, and we presently have staff and licensed offices in Missouri, Minnesota and Kentucky. Our goal at Love Basket is to assist the pregnant woman (and the birth father, if he is involved) in choosing the option — adoption or parenting — that is best for them and their baby. If adoption is their choice, our staff stays alongside the birth parents, guiding them through the process of selecting adoptive parents and seeing the placement completed.
Our staff also works with families as they prepare for parenthood through adoption. From assisting with the application process, to completing home studies, to gathering the necessary paperwork for each placement, to being available as a resource after placement, Love Basket is dedicated to serving each of our families in the future just as we have since our beginning in 1982.
