Why Lutheran Family Adoption Services?
LFS was founded as an orphanage in 1892 and has served children ever since. Adoption has gone through many changes over the years, and we have been there to help families navigate them all.
Questionnaires and personal interviews help LFS adoption specialists review a family’s resolution of infertility, education on adoption issues, awareness of parenting issues and commitment to adoption openness. Other considerations include community of residence, other children, willingness to adopt transracially/culturally or children with special needs and the number of actively waiting families needed in the program.
