Facilitating Adoptive Placements Since 1998

Acorn Adoption is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is licensed to provide adoption case plans in Louisiana and Mississippi. We offer professional, confidential adoption services to parents considering adoptive placement for their child.

Since 1998, Acorn Adoption has provided services to over 120 women considering adoption. There have been no disruptions in the 70 adoptive placements in which Acorn has been involved. Before Acorn will refer a case to an adoptive family, we strive to take into consideration all factors that may potentially interfere with the adoption. We seek to provide information to people interested in adoption so that they can make an informed decision about their choices. Call us today for a free consultation.

Our Mission and Commitment

At Acorn Adoption, our mission is to provide a safe, respectful, and caring environment for those considering adoption. We understand that every adoption journey is unique, and we are dedicated to guiding parents, children, and families through the process with integrity and compassion. Whether you’re interested in open adoption in MS, a confidential adoption plan, or something in between, our team will walk alongside you to provide the right support. Our role is not to persuade or pressure but to make sure every person understands their options.

Support for Expectant Mothers

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, and making decisions about adoption requires courage, strength, and information. At Acorn Adoption, we offer judgment-free support for expectant mothers who may be considering an adoption plan. If you’re wondering about open adoption in MS and how it might allow for ongoing contact with your child, we can explain what that process looks like and what options may be best for you. Our staff is available around the clock to offer emotional support, practical assistance, and guidance on what adoption could mean for your future.


When you contact us, you are not committing to adoption. Instead, you are opening the door to conversation, information, and possibilities. We will discuss your legal rights, explain what a case plan involves, and walk through different types of adoption arrangements, including open adoption in MS, semi-open adoption, and confidential placements. You are always in control of the decisions, and our role is to help you feel confident in whatever choice you make.

Building Personalized Adoption Plans

Every family situation is different, and every child deserves a placement that considers their needs and potential. At Acorn Adoption, we build adoption case plans that are individualized to each expectant parent. These plans may involve open adoption in MS, where birth parents and adoptive families agree to ongoing contact, or alternative arrangements depending on the situation. We encourage open communication, honesty, and collaboration throughout the process so that everyone involved feels respected and heard.


As part of creating your plan, we help you consider the type of family you’d like your child to join, the level of ongoing contact you want to maintain, and the resources available to you during and after pregnancy. By offering open adoption in MS as an option, we give birth parents a way to remain part of their child’s life while ensuring the child is placed in a safe, loving home.

Helping Families Grow Through Adoption

For families who dream of adoption, Acorn Adoption offers guidance, training, and resources to prepare for the responsibilities ahead. Many prospective parents are curious about how open adoption in MS works and whether it might be right for them. We help families understand what this type of adoption involves, including the expectations, boundaries, and opportunities for connection that can follow placement. Our services are designed to prepare adoptive families for every stage of the journey, from the initial home study through post-placement supervision.


We offer a wide range of services to adoptive families, including:



  • Informational and referral services: Helping you understand adoption processes, including open adoption in MS.
  • Pre-placement counseling: Preparing you emotionally and practically for adoptive parenting.
  • Home studies: Conducting evaluations to confirm readiness for adoption in accordance with state laws.
  • Educational seminars: Equipping you with knowledge on parenting, child development, and open adoption in MS where appropriate.
  • Post-placement supervision: Offering continued support to ensure the transition is positive for both child and family.
  • Adoption service coordination: Managing the many moving parts of the process so families can focus on building connections.

Why Families Choose Acorn Adoption

Adoption is a deeply personal decision, and we know families want a partner they can trust. Families choose Acorn Adoption because of our proven track record of stability, transparency, and success. We’re also known for our ability to facilitate open adoption in MS, giving both birth parents and adoptive families peace of mind that their wishes are honored.


Another reason families turn to us is our financial approach. We understand that adoption can bring financial strain, which is why we work to limit potential loss by structuring fees in a way that minimizes risk. Most fees are not due until after the child is legally surrendered, giving families peace of mind that their investment supports a secure adoption, whether through open adoption in MS or another arrangement.

The Importance of Ethical Adoption

At Acorn Adoption, we believe adoption should always be handled with fairness, respect, and transparency. Ethical adoption practices are the foundation of everything we do. That means providing honest information to birth parents, making sure adoptive families are fully prepared, and prioritizing the long-term well-being of children. We emphasize open adoption in MS as an option because it can foster honesty and stability for everyone involved.


Our record of no placement disruptions reflects our commitment to ethical adoption. We never rush families into decisions or overlook important details that could affect a child’s future. Whether you’re considering confidential adoption or open adoption in MS, you can be confident that Acorn Adoption will prioritize your needs and your child’s well-being every step of the way.
