Qualify Now

This is a FREE questionnaire we would like you to review to see if we can begin the process of adoption.Dear Adoption Inquirer,Our agency attempts to help as many people adopt as we can facilitate, but our primary goal is to make ethical decisions of the people we approve to adopt new borns based on the best interests of the children. Our home study service may not have all of these qualifications so please phone us to discuss it. To keep the children that we actually place with the families safe and for us to make sound adoption decisions we have developed agency policy and our agency qualification list. We also have found it extremely difficult to find appropriate matches or outside agency cooperation for people who are outside these core requirements. We have the following policies for our New Born Program in place to ensure the physical and mental health, relational stability, financial solvency, residency requirements, ethical character, risk assessment and appropriateness of accommodation of the adopting parents as per our duties mandated by the Department of Children and State Statutes for the placement of children. Most agencies may have their own policies and qualifications based on their interpretations of suitability for adoption, so if you have some issue meeting our qualifications, we suggest that you inquire with several other agencies.
