Selecting an Agency
Choosing an adoption agency can be overwhelming. Some factors to consider are the agency's philosophy and experience, the services provided, what others feel about their services, the costs involved and the type of children they serve. If possible, call or visit the agency personally to determine if you feel comfortable with the person(s) you would be working with. We would love to personally visit with you about God’s Children Adoption Agency, Inc., so please call to set up a no-obligation introductory meeting.
The Home Study Process
The home study process is an opportunity for our agency to assess your motivation to adopt and to help you determine your ability to parent an adopted child. Throughout the home study process, a family case manager from God’s Children Adoption Agency, Inc. will answer your questions, educate you about the process and support you as you determine God’s will for your family.
Submission of the Paperwork and the Referral of a Child
Upon completion of the home study process, your paperwork will be submitted to the child referral agency. This agency may ask for additional paperwork based upon their requirements and/or the requirements of the child's country of origin. This agency should be able to give you an idea of how long you will wait for a referral. God’s Children Adoption Agency, Inc. works directly with expectant parents in North Dakota and Minnesota and also networks with many Christian child placement agencies around the United States. You may choose which agencies you are most comfortable with when submitting your paperwork for the referral of a child.
The Arrival of the Child
Congratulations and welcome home! God's Children Adoption Agency, Inc. will be available to celebrate with you and support you through the transition of adding a new child to your family.
The Post-Placement Process
God’s Children Adoption Agency, Inc. will provide the required post-placement visits and submit the corresponding reports to the child referral agency and the court for finalization. In addition, we will continue to provide support and encouragement to your family. Each member of our agency has real-life experience with adoption and we will do our best to answer your questions and direct you to the resources you may need. |
