The Executive Director of the agency, Rose M. Santiago-Averbach, MSW , adoptive mother and sibling, is committed to serving the needs of children and their families.
Adoption is a process, therefore the adoption is the beginning of a lifelong commitment.
Our agency offers counseling, education, information and referral services for all involved in the adoption process. Our goal is to make the process of adoption a positive and enlightening experience for your family. The homestudy is a required document which enables a family to begin the adoption process. It is a written, comprehensive assessment of the adoptive family by a social worker employed by the agency. Its purpose is to insure that a child will be placed in a stable, loving home, as well as to provide a positive learning experience by enabling the family to discuss and explore issues of adoption and to prepare for the realities of parenting an adopted child.
