Why we learn about this and other Resources

Families Are Special, Inc. (FASI) traces its origins to the common vision of three mental health professionals, Bill and Ann Barling and Betty Everett. This initial group grew to include an adult adoptee, several adoptive parents, and several people from the clergy, law and business.  In early 1993 our board of directors was organized and Families Are Special was formed as a private, nonsectarian, nonprofit agency.  Since our founding we have been involved in placing over 120 children with Arkansas Families.

 

Our board and staff are dedicated to providing the highest quality of professional services. Families Are Special has become recognized for domestic and international placements.  FASI has been at the forefront in recruiting adoptive families and sponsoring networking activities for adoptive families.

Our experience has shown that most adoptive families want to know as much as possible about adoption.  We hope you do too, because we have found that the more adoptive families know about adoption, the more comfortable they and their adoptive child(ren) will be.  During the course of your adoption process, if you discover a new resource that is particularly helpful, please let us know about it so we can share it with others.

We are pleased to be a member of the Child Welfare League of America, Arkansas Promise and the Arkansas Adoption Association combined.
