Since 1945, the Barker Foundation has served all members of the adoption circle as a licensed, non-profit agency serving Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Our comprehensive adoption center offers pregnancy services, domestic and international adoption services, counseling and education, and a lifelong commitment to the individuals and families we serve.
Today, Barker is regarded as one of the nation’s premier adoption agencies. Our life-cycle model of comprehensive services, robust educational programs, and commitment to the highest standards of ethical practice are the hallmarks of our work.
