Adoption is a life long process. The experienced professionals at Adoption Resources of Jewish Family Service are there to help prospective families prepare for and understand the developmental process that adoption entails, so that their families will thrive.
If you are considering
adoption, it is important to know all of your options, opportunities, and
requirements. All adoptions in Virginia require a home
study. Most families starting the process do not know what kind of
adoption they want to pursue. Your social worker can discuss the options available
and the pros and cons of each. They include:
| • | Parental Placement Adoption - Where a child is identified mutually by both the adoptive parents and the prospective birth parents. |
| • | Agency Adoption - Where a child (born in the United States) is identified by an adoption agency and placed in an adoptive home. |
| • | International Adoption - Where a child (born in a foreign country) is identified and placed by an international adoption agency. |
