Christian Family Services is experienced and happy to serve families in the international adoption process. Through our 30 years of adoption services to families, we have assisted many families through successful international adoption experiences. We have worked with quite a few agencies nationwide and would be happy to provide you with information about specific agencies and programs if we have knowledge about that agency or program. We have agreements with a number of agencies nationwide and look forward to welcoming your international adoption agency questions.

Our social workers have extensive experience in preparing home studies for both the Hague and Non-Hague adoption process. We are now Hague Accredited through the Council on Accreditation (COA). Our Hague Accreditation allows us to further enhance the services we offer and to ensure that we continue to go above and beyond what is required to best serve our families.

  • A social worker knowledgeable about international adoption with a caring and loving heart for international adoption.
  • A home study that will comply with all state, federal, and country specific adoption requirements.
  • Frequent communication between your adoption agency and your CFS social worker.
  • Help and assistance with parts of your dossier preparation including fingerprinting, USCIS, and helpful tips about things on the state and local level.
  • The ability to update the home study if need be.
  • Assistance with completing required post-placement or post-adoption reports.
  • Explanation of the requirements for court proceedings (if necessary) for a recognition of adoption or re-adoption.
