Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 9:43PM Monday, February 4, 2013 at 7:39PM Family Adoption Consultants is very pleased to announce that we have merged our operation with Family & Community Services, Inc., a large and diverse social service agency. F&CS, founded in 1941, is located in Ravenna, Ohio. The merger affords expanded opportunities to both agencies. F&CS is very excited about adding an adoption program to the many services it already provides, as well as the opportunity to serve families and children in two states, Ohio and Michigan. FAC has gained operational efficiency and support, which allows us to continue to achieve our primary focus of securing loving adoptive families for children. FAC and F&CS share a similar mission, vision and values and we are confident that our newly expanded agency will provide families and children with excellent services.
Family & Community Services, Inc. is licensed to provide child-placing services in both Michigan and Ohio. F&CS is fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation, including Hague Accreditation. FAC will function as a program of F&CS and will continue to use the name Family Adoption Consultants as we provide services to children and families as we have been doing for 30 years. We will continue to operate offices in Utica, MI and Ravenna, OH and can be reached at the same telephone numbers: 586-726-2988 (MI) and 330-296-2757 (OH) or by calling our toll-free number: 1-800-753-0129. We look forward to hearing from you.

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 11:27PM With great regret and sadness we must announce that Korea Social Service, the agency FAC partners with to place Korean children with adoptive families in the United States, has determined they will no longer be able to continue an adoption program. FAC has been working with KSS for 25 years, and has assisted more than 3,000 children join adoptive families. It is incredibly sad that this wonderful experience is ending for us. We know this news will be met with great sadness by all of the families who have been created by the alliance between Korea Social Service and Family Adoption Consultants. As one adoptive mother stated when I shared the news with her, "KSS is part of my family". Korea Social Service has asked us to assure adoptees and their families that they will continue to provide post-adoption services. We suggest that you contact FAC with questions rather than contacting KSS directly. Thank you for your patience as we make this challenging transition.
