Homestudy and Post Placement
LSS' professional adoption staff provide comprehensive, compassionate case management that extends well beyond the time a child is placed in your arms. We believe in offering you choices and opportunities. In addition to pre-adoption counseling, home study, and post-placement support services that fulfill the requirements of all adoption programs everywhere, we offer ongoing support in many areas. These include parent preparation seminars, monthly pre-adoption support groups; and post-adoption services, such as adult discussion groups, seminars, activities for children and teens, and family social events. These programs and events are facilitated by our experienced staff, many of whom are adoptive parents or adoptees themselves.
All adoptions require that direct services, such as home study and post-placement services, be completed by a local state-licensed agency. Lutheran Social Services is licensed for the placement of children in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Residents of these states may choose to utilize LSS home study and post-placement services in conjunction with our own LSS domestic and international adoption programs, or those of any qualified out-of-state agency. Our staff will collaborate with the child-placing agency of your choice to prepare your home study and provide post-placement reporting to comply with legal standards and requirements.
LSS is Hague accredited, which means that we have achieved the highest standard of international accreditation. Our staff of adoption specialists is knowledgeable and experienced in meeting the requirements of the Hague Convention.
Come in and meet with us to explore this multitude of adoption resources together. We can help you to devise the most appropriate adoption plan for your family. Whether LSS works with you from start to finish or serves you in cooperation with another agency, you have our commitment that we will offer your family adoption resources across the lifecycle. Our experience and service to families are unmatched.
