Steps to adoption at JCFS include:
- Information
and Referral – Couples or individuals
considering adoption will be given an orientation
where they will receive information about the adoption
process, as well as different types of adoption options
(e.g. domestic, private, international, etc.) and
the available adoption resources.
- Adoption
Counselling – Anyone considering adoption
may benefit from the counselling of an experienced
adoption professional who will guide them towards
reaching the decision best suited for them and their
family.
- Home Study
– The Home Study, required for all adoptions,
includes reference checks, assessment, personal and
family history, recommendations and supporting documentation.
The social worker conducts interviews with the clients
in a sensitive and supportive manner.
- Post-Placement
Supports – Once the adopted child has
joined the family, monthly home visits are made by
the social worker to assess and facilitate the transition
to family life. Following this period, a report consisting
of recommendations is prepared for the court to finalize
the adoption.
