The 1st Step
Goals and Expectations
The first step is an open and honest discussion about your family's motivations, goals, and expectations for adoption. We explain the international adoption process, including timelines, legal requirements, and potential challenges. During this session, we will also explore the countries of interest, highlighting their specific adoption protocols, so that you have a clear understanding of each option. All your questions and concerns will be addressed to provide clarity and direction.

The 2nd Step
Comprehensive Home Study (If Needed)
A home study is often required to ensure that your family is prepared for international adoption:
Interviews: Individual and joint interviews will be conducted with all family members to gain insight into your backgrounds, parenting philosophies, and readiness for adoption.
Background Checks: We will perform comprehensive criminal background checks and child abuse clearances for all adults in the household, ensuring compliance with adoption regulations.
Home Visit: A thorough assessment of your home environment will be conducted to confirm that it is safe, welcoming, and suitable for a child.
Financial Assessment: A review of your financial stability will be performed to ensure you can meet the needs of an adopted child.

Cultural Competency Training
Adopting internationally often means embracing a new culture and heritage. We provide extensive resources about the child's country, including cultural norms, language, and traditions. Understanding and respecting the child’s cultural background is crucial, and we offer strategies to help integrate cultural practices and celebrations into your family life, promoting a seamless and respectful transition for your child.

Support System Assessment
Adopting a child requires a strong support system. We discuss your existing network, including family, friends, and community resources, and identify local and online support groups specifically for adoptive families. We also explore professional counseling options to support you both pre- and post-adoption, ensuring that your family has access to all the necessary resources.

Post-adoption services, such as follow-up visits, counseling, and community resources, are outlined to provide ongoing support.
We encourage continuous education on adoption-related topics to ensure your family is always informed and prepared.
