Adoption Services

Adoption & Foster Care Services

Congratulations on your decision to explore adoption as a way to build your family.  Lutheran Social Services (LSS) of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan believes every adoption is a small miracle that transforms loss into love.  Adoption gives to everybody it touches - a child receives a home and the love of a family, and the adoptive family is blessed with one of life's most rewarding experiences, the opportunity to love and parent a child.  We welcome you to the threshold of your family's miracle.

As the largest not-for-profit licensed child-placing agency in the State of Wisconsin, LSS has been finding forever families for children of all ages, faiths and backgrounds for more than 60 years.  Over that time, adoptive homes have been found for well over 10,000 children.

OUR ADOPTION MISSION: 
"Motivated by the compassion of Christ, we promote security for children."

The primary focus of the LSS adoption program is finding stable, loving homes for children from the United States and many other countries.  Each year, through its network of eight adoption offices throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, LSS helps over 800 children find permanent homes and families.
    
Lutheran Social Services also provides financial assistance to child welfare programs in other countries as well as advocates for legislation and policies that benefit children.
