Christian Family Services is experienced and happy to serve families in the international adoption process. Through over 35 years of adoption services to families, we have assisted many families through successful international adoption experiences. We have worked with quite a few agencies nationwide and would be happy to provide you with information about specific agencies and programs if we have knowledge about that agency or program. We have agreements with a number of agencies nationwide and look forward to welcoming your international adoption agency questions.
Our social workers have extensive experience in preparing home studies for both the Hague and Non-Hague adoption process. We are Hague Accredited through The Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity (IAAME). Our Hague Accreditation allows us to further enhance the services we offer and to ensure that we continue to go above and beyond what is required to best serve our families.
