Post Placement Services

After you have brought your child home, the foreign country, agency, or family adoption attorney you are working with will require additional follow-up reports. These Post Placement Reports will contain information relevant to the general well being, health, and education of the adopted child. The number of required post placement visits varies with different governments and agencies. Post Placement visits take place in your home. These are friendly, informal visits which enable the social worker to assess the child’s and parent’s adjustments.

Adoption Counseling and Referral

Families who are just beginning the adoption process are faced with a confusing array of adoption resources.

All adoptive parents have a picture in their mind of their child. Adoption Support Services of Florida is here to help you with all those decisions.
