How Your Donations Are Spent:

LAPA is an all-volunteer support group and a recognized 501-C(3) non-profit organization. We have no permanent employees to pay. We pay no rent for office space since we work from our homes. We have been entirely focused on helping families before, during and after the adoption process for over 25 years.

Our only sources of funds are the dues we collect from our members and the fee we charge new members for our Adoption Source Kit. We do not sell advertising in our publications or on this web site. We do not actively solicit donations. Rest assured that every dollar you send us is used to cary out our stated mission.

Here is how we used the funds we received last year:
