Flourish Adoption Ministries

What Flourish Adoption Ministries does

Flourish Adoption Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, licensed child placing agency headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. Founded in 2014 and rebranded to its current name in 2024, the organization provides infant domestic adoption and embryo adoption services to adoptive families, while delivering free support services to expectant and birth mothers. The organization is faith-based and operates on a small team of 1-10 employees.

The organization runs two primary service lines: a domestic infant adoption program with a base program fee of approximately $14,500 plus separate legal and travel costs, and an embryo adoption program priced at approximately $15,000-$20,000 all-in. Supporting programs include ARROW post-placement support, lifetime counseling for birth mothers, monthly support groups, and Flourish Care Boxes for postpartum care. The technology stack is entirely commodity: Showit for the website, Square for merchandise e-commerce, Calendly for scheduling, Givebutter for donations, and Google Analytics for traffic analytics, with no proprietary platform or AI/ML components.

Revenue is generated from three streams: professional service fees from adoptive families, tax-deductible donations processed through Givebutter, and merchandise sales through the Flourish Shop on Square. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer via a website inquiry funnel and a 24/7 phone/text hotline, supplemented by church partnerships, community events, an Instagram presence, and a content blog. Services to expectant and birth mothers are provided free of charge, with the adoption agency compensated by adoptive families.
