Welcome to my Adoption Services page, where I provide comprehensive support throughout the adoption journey. My services are designed to meet the unique needs of adoptive families and birth mothers.

Private Adoption Home Study
$1,500.00

Private adoption home studies are a mandatory and foundational step in the adoption journey, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment for the child. I conduct thorough assessments that encompass the family's readiness and suitability for adoption. With a standard fee of $1,500 plus mileage, this process involves detailed evaluations and comprehensive reports submitted to all necessary parties. Please note that while the fee is generally fixed, extenuating circumstances may require a fee adjustment, which will be discussed transparently.

Pre-Surrender Birth Mother Counseling
$175.00

Providing compassionate support, Pre-Surrender Birth Mother Counseling is a mandatory component of the adoption process. These sessions are designed to offer guidance and emotional support to birth mothers as they navigate this significant decision. The state mandates a minimum of two sessions, each priced at $175 plus mileage if traveling to birth mother. During these sessions, I prioritize creating a safe space for mothers to explore their feelings and make informed choices. Comprehensive documentation and reports are provided to meet all requirements.

Post-Adoption Placement Visits
$200.00

Post-adoption placement visits are an essential and mandatory component of the private adoption process. These visits ensure the continued well-being and successful integration of the child into their new family environment. During each visit, I evaluate the family's adjustment and provide ongoing support to address any challenges that may arise. Each visit is priced at $200, plus mileage, and includes comprehensive reports that are submitted to the necessary parties to ensure compliance with adoption regulations.
