Types of Adoption Services
Private Adoption
Private Adoption involves a child, frequently a newborn, that is being placed for adoption by his or her biological parents into the care of non-relatives. This type of adoption often involves working with the expectant mother during her pregnancy.

Foster Care Adoption
Foster care (AKA State Agency) adoptions involve foster children, in custody of DCFS, being formally adopted by their foster parents.
After a child in foster care is freed for adoption through the proper channels, our office is contacted either by the adoptive foster parents or by DCFS on behalf of the adoptive parents. At that point in time the state sends us a packet of the necessary documents, and we gather important information from the adoptive parents and draft the adoption pleadings. We work diligently and always process state adoptions within 10 days or less of receipt of the packet from DCFS.
It is a blessing to watch these children be formally, officially placed with their forever families! Please contact your local DCFS office if you are interested in becoming a foster parent.
