Since 1971, Lutheran Social Services of the Miami Valley has helped hundreds of families through the specialized process of international adoption. We are professionally linked to an extensive network of reliable and experienced international agencies that locate children across the globe who are eligible for adoption. We can work with most any licensed international agency chosen by the adoptive family. Together, we guide the family through the process of meeting Ohio, federal, and country specific requirements. With free supportive counseling from Lutheran Social Services of the Miami Valley, you can find the answers that help you make the best decisions for you and your baby.
Counseling is provided with strict confidentiality through either office or home visits.
Free supportive counseling helps you explore your choices, find referrals for proper prenatal care, address your financial needs, and support communication with your family. There's no way around it. Children need families to help them grow. Families provide an important sense of personal history, a sense of belonging. They provide continuity and strength to help us weather the storms of life.
