Other International Adoption Options
Lutheran Social Services works cooperatively with out-of-state adoption agencies and facilitators to provide you with additional international adoption opportunities.
You may contact these agencies directly for information regarding programs available, eligibility requirements and their application process. Your LSS adoption worker can assist you in determining whether a specific program or agency is right for you.
LSS can begin your home study while you are deciding on an international program. As a licensed Wisconsin adoption agency our role is to:
- Complete your home study
- Assist you in meeting Wisconsin and Immigration international adoption requirements
- Work cooperatively with your placement agency during the referral and placement phases of your adoption.
- Provide post-placement services to your family
- Assist you with re-adoption and citizenship procedures following placement.
- Support your family throughout your adoption experience.
- Eligibility Criteria and children available vary from program to program. Your LSS worker can help you identify programs whose requirements you meet.
