We provide
comprehensive home study and post-placement services for both domestic and international adoption for Massachusetts residents.
Adoption Resources offers a program of “traditional” newborn domestic adoption. We network in Massachusetts and throughout the country to provide counseling and placement services to pregnant women and to match them with waiting adoptive families.
Families receive a full range of services, including the completion of a home study, educational programs, ongoing support, and post-placement supervision, in addition to all necessary legal procedures to complete an adoption. Our staff provides one-on-one assistance for families completing photo albums and “birth parent” letters that are used during the matching process.
Local birth parents work with Adoption Resources to select an adoptive family for their child. In addition to reading letters and looking at photo albums, they receive detailed, non-identifying descriptions of the families. In most cases, adoptive parents and birth parents choose to meet each other.
Adoption Resources has a strong program to find homes for minority children and children at risk for special needs. The Lindelil Fund has been established to provide financial assistance if needed for parents interested in this type of adoption.
We encourage prospective adoptive parents to take a proactive approach and consider pursuing more than one route to creating or adding to their families. Through our Parent Identified/Designated Adoption program, we assist families in exploring other avenues, including selecting an out-of-state agency, attorney, or networking service to help facilitate locating birth parents with whom you would like to work towards making an adoption plan. We have a growing network of these resources. In addition to conducting your home study and providing post-placement services, we will help you select those resources that are most appropriate for you.
Adoption Resources is pleased to assist families in their partnerships with international placement agencies. We are a partnering agency of Children’s Home Society and Family Services of Minnesota, which has more than a dozen programs in Europe, Asia, and South America. We are also pleased to offer strong links to agencies working specifically in a variety of other countries.
