| Adoption Research & Counselling Service Inc. (ARCS) was founded in 1984 in response to Dr Robin Winkler's pioneering research into relinquishment and adoption. Dr. Winkler's research recognised adoption as a life long experience with unique and ongoing challenges for all parties to the adoption - birth parents, adopted people and adoptive parents. His vision for ARCS was to provide safe and specialist services whilst recognising and respecting all affected by adoption.
