What Adoption Services Inc does
Mission
Adoption services believes that every child has the right to have a permanent home. We promote adoption as an alternative choice for an unplanned pregnancy. We will accomplish this purpose by providing adoption services, adoption education, and support for the organizations working with women in an unplanned pregnancy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The organization ceased operation of all of its programs during the year.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Adoption services, inc. Provides adoption homestudies for both international and domestic adoptions. We do follow the state of wisconsin requirements for domestic and the hague requirements for international adoptions. This process can be intimidating to some families due to the amount of sensitive information we are required to collect. We do this as gently as possible and help the families as much as possible so they can meet their goal of building a family. Due to this we do receive many referrals from families we have worked with.

We continue to have a working relationship with the women's care center, a pregnancy and counseling center in milwaukee, wi to educate their staff on the adoption process and to meet with any women who might want to explore adoption for their child. We work with many low-income women and not only help them with adoption education but also help them find other services they may need to improve their living situation whether or not they make an adoption plan.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $227k to $110k (−52%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 35% · 2022 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $21k → $54.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ADOPTION SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ADOPTION SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
64% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ADOPTION SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 48% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
52% of ADOPTION SERVICES INC's grant income comes from Wisconsin funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $9k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
