Many children in foster care are awaiting adoption into forever families. Lutheran Adoption Service specializes in the placement of children from the State's foster care system. There is little or no cost involved in adopting a child from the foster care system.
Adopting is not as hard as you may think! Lutheran Adoption Service requirements are flexible:
*Married, divorced and single men and women can adopt
*You don't have to be wealthy or own your home
*You can live in an apartment
*You can have other children
*You can work, as long as you have adequate child care arrangements
*You don't need to have reached a set level of education
