Lifetime Adoption Agency: What We Do
Lifetime Adoption is a licensed child-placing agency in Arkansas and Florida, and partners with licensed adoption agencies and attorneys nationwide, allowing us to serve adoptive parents and mothers considering adoption nationwide.
Our story begins with the personal journey of our founder, Mardie Caldwell, C.O.A.P. After experiencing seven pregnancy losses, she adopted a newborn and grew her family. As an early advocate of open adoption, Mardie’s compassion for birth mothers is unparalleled. Having witnessed the benefits of open adoption both personally and professionally, she often says, “It’s just more people to love our children.”

84% of adoptees with ongoing contact with their birth parents report high levels of satisfaction.
We believe in the benefits of open adoption, where adoptive parents and the adopted child maintain contact with birth parents. Birth mothers play an active role in choosing adoptive parents and continued to have ongoing contact with the child. Research supports the positive benefits of open adoptions. Adopted children also expressed positive feelings toward their birth parents with no lingering doubts about their identity.
