About Us

Lutheran Social Services (LSS) has been serving and caring for children in need since 1871, when the Martin Luther Orphans' Home at Brook Farm, in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, was founded.

Today, Adoption Services is just one of LSS's 65 social ministry programs, which together touch thousands of lives every day. In addition to adoption, LSS's serves older adults, refugees, teen mothers and their children, adults with disabilities, mental illness and deafness, children and teens at risk, and low-income families who need reliable transportation to become self-sufficient.

Lutheran Social Services is a member of Lutheran Services in America (LSA), one of the nation's largest charities. The social ministries of LSA constitute a nationwide charitable network larger than the Salvation Army, the Red Cross and Catholic Charities.  Lutheran social ministry programs serve one in 50 Americans at some point in their lives.

LSS is  also a member of the Lutheran Adoption Network (LAN), a national partnership of thirty Lutheran adoption agencies serving families across the country and children around the world.

A portion of each and every adoption fee collected supports our charitable projects the seek to improve the lives of children, both here and abroad.

With adoption offices in Connecticut, Massachusetts,and Rhode Island, and partner agencies across the country, LSS facilitates the adoption process with professionalism and sensitivity to the needs of all parties, offering support before, during, and after adoption to families nationwide.

We invite you to choose Lutheran Social Services to meet all of your adoption needs.
