Your Volunteers of America adoption worker will go to court with you and may also recommend an experienced attorney. Because we re a nonprofit organization and because our mission is to strengthen family and community life Volunteers of America s fees for infant adoptions are highly competitive with private agencies. And here s more good news. We have long experience serving the needs of African-American parents both married couples and qualified single adults. In fact, more than half the adoptions we arrange each year involve minority families.
Fees are nominal.
We may be interested in adopting an older child or a child with special needs. Like you, we believe that all children have the right to grow up in a stable, loving family. Sadly, however, thousands of children every year must be removed from their natural families because of neglect, abuse or abandonment. Many grow to maturity in the foster care system, never experiencing the security and unconditional love of a permanent family. In partnership with other nonprofit agencies and the state of Louisiana, Volunteers of America is seeking qualified adoptive parents for children with special needs.
