Our Story

The Adoption and Foster Care Clinic was originally called the International Adoption Clinic. The International Adoption Clinic was started in 2002 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Our original team consisted of three adoptive moms with a passion to see children like ours receive care from clinicians that understand their unique needs. Since then, we have served children from over 65 different countries such as China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Guatemala, Peru, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Ethiopia, Uganda and many, many more. In 2020, we became the Adoption Clinic when we opened our doors to children who had been domestically adopted. In 2024, our clinic reshaped again when we stepped out to form our own non-profit free standing organization. “The Adoption and Foster Care Clinic” reflects our services that now include international and domestic adoptees and children currently in foster care. We are located in the suburb of Birmingham called Hoover.
