Welcome to ACTION, Inc!
ACTION, Inc. is a private non-profit adoption agency
licensed by the State of Ohio founded and operated by adoptive mothers/licensed social workers. We invite you to stop by our agency or call us at
your convenience so that we may assist you in finding the children you were meant to have…Families are always welcome

ADOPTING CHILDREN TODAY - INFORMATION/OPTION
NETWORK, better known as ACTION, Inc., began in 1994 as an adoptive parent support group. Several of the adoptive mothers who
began ACTION were also social workers, and they began to dream of ACTION growing into a full service adoption agency. In 1997, three of the mother/social
workers, Patricia A. Hill, Sheila Jenkins and Linda McCallister, began the licensing process to open an adoption agency. When
their license was granted by the State of Ohio in February of 1998, they had a list of families ready to begin the adoption
process. ACTION continues to provide pre- and post-adoptive services to
families as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.

"Adoption is an exciting time in a family’s life.
From start to finish it’s a time filled with different phases, emotions and expectations. One
of the initial phases in the adoption process is ‘the waiting game.’..."

A.C.T.I.O.N.'s Mission At
A.C.T.I.O.N. we believe that all children have the right to a loving, caring and supportive family to aid in their growth
as moral, functional members of society. Our commitment is to aggressively recruit families for waiting children across the
United States in order to create Forever Families. There are times when birth parents, because of their
life circumstances, feel that it is in the best interest of their child to be placed in an adoptive home. Our agency supports
this choice, and we offer support and professional assistance in helping those parents design an adoptive plan for their infant.
We believe in educating perspective and adoptive families as well as the community on adoption.
