This is the same philosophy as the agency I went through. In fact, as they were a complete Mental Health facility, the maternity counseling was a separate program with separate funding.
Maternity service funding was not tied to how many adoptions they did. This is the most important point. In my mind, this is they way it needs to be. All else brings conflicts.
As far as I know there are only a handfull like this in the country.
