Adoptive Parent Services
Our Commitment to Your Adoption Journey
Caring For Kids, Inc. prides itself on our commitment to performing ethical and best practice social work. Our clients repeatedly tell us they appreciate the service we provide to them and the children we serve.
In order to ensure you receive the highest level of support throughout your entire adoption journey, Caring for Kids offers extensive adoptive parent services. Our professionals are available to arrange birth parent assessments as well as receive birth parent histories directly from the expectant parents. We provide this service to all of our expectant parents as well as to attorneys and/or out-of-state agencies working with expectant parents in Ohio. Fees associated with these assessments are determined by the services needed as well as the location of the birth parent.

If You Have Identified a
Birthmother
If You Have Identified a Birthmother
Our agency can also assist you in completing your adoption process if you have identified a birthmother on your own. Under these circumstances, you will still benefit from the expertise of our staff. Not only will you receive ongoing support throughout this sometimes complex process, but the birth parent(s) will receive the counseling services that are so crucial to their well-being and a successful placement.
Additional Adoption Services
If you choose to complete your adoption through an attorney, Caring for Kids can still provide you with adoption education classes, a home study, as well as post-placement services. Fees are determined based on the extent and type of services needed.
Search Fees – Public Adoption
There is no fee for search services for children over eight years old, however, there is a fee for families interested in children zero to eight years old. For fee information, please contact
Caring for Kids.
Working With More Than One Agency
Caring for Kids works with families who choose to share their home study with other licensed professionals or attorneys. Often, adoptive families choose to do this to expand their search and explore more potential matches. Additional paperwork and fees often accompany the decision to work with more than one agency, and this varies by the agency and state(s) a family may choose to work with. Caring for Kids does not share home studies with unlicensed adoption entities, such as facilitators, advertisers, or consultants.
