Social and legal processes are instituted to terminate parental rights, when appropriate, if return home is not possible. The social worker assists the child in adjusting to the new family and assists the adoptive parents in their new role. Often, children who are adopted have special needs which qualify for the provision of an adoption subsidy payment. Although they are limited, some adoption placements are made directly from the foster home into a new adoptive home, very few infants are placed in this manner. If you or someone you know is interested in adoption, please contact our agency.
Children are available for adoption around the state of Virginia.
Children and families are registered with the Adoption Resource Exchange of Virginia. We can assist you if you would like to review their published directory. These adoptions are reviewed for the suitability of the adoptive parents and the separation from the natural parents. Fees are normally charged for the preparation of the adoption reports. Parental placement adoptions will require a home study prior to the consent to the adoption.
