What Services Are Offered?
Our
services generally fall into these categories:
Referrals for Adoption Agencies - we have worked with dozens of agencies over the past eight years. We can provide a recommendation based upon your needs and upon the country in which you plan to adopt.
Pre-placement services - Domestic and International Adoption Home Studies: To complete the Adoption Home Study, we meet with the adoptive parents to collect all the information necessary to satisfy Louisiana State regulations and those outlined by other regulatory bodies involved in your adoption, such as the child placing adoption agency, attorney, or Immigration and Naturalization Services for international adoptive families.
Post-placement
services
- In domestic adoptions and a few foreign countries the adoption is not
finalized before the child is brought into in the adoptive family's home.
Because the adoption is not yet finalized, follow up visits by the social
worker are required as mandated by the courts. A progress report is then
completed by the social worker to assure the courts that the child is
thriving in their new home.
In the case of International Adoptions most countries finalize the adoption, prior to the child coming home with their new family. In this case, post placement services are provided according to the requirements of your child placing agency and the foreign country.
It is a genuine privilege to meet the new addition to your family and celebrate the completion of the process with your family.
