FTIA was founded by attorney Keith M. Wallace after teaching law at Peking University in Beijing, China, as a Foreign Expert from 1990-1991. Mr. Wallace has been active in domestic adoptions for almost 20 years and is a member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys. While living in China, he learned of the opportunity to help and serve children Internationally. Since starting adoptions from China in the early 1990s, FTIA extended its commitment to children by establishing adoption programs in Brazil, Russia, Guatemala, Vietnam, and India. In each country we work with individuals who have been working with International adoptions for years. Each of our adoption programs was started after substantial research, several trips overseas, and much background investigation. We know all of our team, including foreign counterparts, are committed to you and the children we serve.

Families Thru International Adoption is one of very few International adoption agencies in the United States that are fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Children and Family Services, Inc. FTIA is also a proud member of the Joint Council on International Children's Services. The JCICS from North America is the oldest and largest affiliation of licensed, nonprofit International adoption agencies in the world.
