How does adopting through a private agency differ from adopting through an attorney?
Full-service agencies, like Christian Family Care, provide services to both the adoptive parents and the birth parents. Birth parents receive decision-making counseling, help with medical care, housing, pregnancy related expenses, and post-adoption support and counseling. This helps them make sure that adoption is the best plan for the baby and themselves. We also provide support services to the adoptive parents that many attorneys do not provide. The home study process prepares families to be adoptive parents and we continue to provide educational and support services for families and children after the adoption has been completed. Additionally, as a full-service agency working with both birth and adoptive parents, Christian Family Care is always careful to share all its information about individual children with adopting parents.
