Our Services Include

• Prospective adoptive parents can attend an educational series on medical and developmental issues of adopted children. Families can meet with adoption specialists to learn about the process and decide whether adoption will be their mode of family building.
• While all adolescents experience some type of drive for independence, this process can be fraught with ambivalence for a child who joined his or her family through adoption. The agency offers specialized individual, group, and family counseling.
• Getting your child to sleep is a common challenge for many families, yet a child who spent 18 months sleeping in an orphanage might need specialized help to learn how to sleep alone in his/her own room. If a child has had a certain sleep routine, the traditional advice given by a pediatrician may not address the issues of those children. We have experts that can guide you and offer you specific strategies designed to meet each family constellation.
• The agency also offers a variety of support groups, new parent groups, and workshops to post-adoptive families as well as one-on-one post-adoption counseling by highly-skilled clinical social workers and adoption experts through JF&CS Mental Health Services.
