Domestic & International Adoption

General Info

Adoption by Shepherd Care knows the challenges of families hoping for children and offers a number of choices and programs designed to fulfill their dreams. Our experienced and caring staff will provide you with accurate and detailed information on the adoption process, honest advice and individualized planning in pursuing adoption. We encourage you to be active participants in your adoption plan and work with us to achieve our common goal for building your family. Deciding to pursue adoption often raises many questions and uncertainties. In order to make an informed decision, good information is needed. We provide this to you through free information meetings focusing on both domestic and international adoptions and private, individual consultations with our office supervisors. We will assist you in selecting the program that best meets your needs. Your choices include private (designated) or agency matched domestic adoptions, trans-racial adoptions and a number of carefully selected international programs which include both infants and older children. Home studies and assistance are also available to families wishing to pursue adoption through other agencies. Our goal is that everyone who qualifies for adoption will be given the opportunity to have their dreams come true. Please call us or visit our website today for more information about how we can help you!

Amenities

Privately Arranged or Designated Placements: Often the quickest way to adopt is to "designate" or locate a birth mother yourself. We provide the networking instructions and seminars to help you make contact with a birth mother wanting to plan adoption and can then assist both you and the birth parents in completing the plan. (One advantage of a designated adoption is that our administrative fee is reduced.) Interstate Placements: Our knowledge of Interstate Compact procedures and paperwork will assure that all formalities are met and speed the process of getting your child home. When a child is adopted by a family living outside of the state of Florida, the law requires that certain guidelines are followed. Attorney Cooperation: Cooperative assistance is provided to attorneys who have clients wishing to complete an adoption. We can perform the needed home study, follow-up with required post-placement supervisions and birth parent counseling. Pregnancy Services: We provide complete assistance to birth parents planning adoption by traveling to their home communities to serve them. We handle all the legal work, can assist with medical and other pregnancy related expenses and, in most cases, place infants directly from the hospital. For more information on how we can assist birth parents, please visit our Adoption for Birth Parents web page.
