Our Adoption Services
Our adoption services are tailored to each family’s needs and circumstances. We focus on creating safe, loving, and permanent homes for children while supporting parents through every phase of the process.
Foster Care Adoptions
The Adults Adopting Special Kids (AASK) program connects children in foster care to families prepared to provide the care, stability, and commitment they deserve. We offer specialized training, education, and long-term support to ensure families feel confident and supported through placement and beyond.
Domestic/Infant/ Identified/ International Adoptions
Our adoption services support families pursuing domestic, infant, identified, or international adoptions, providing guidance, education, and personalized support through every step of the adoption journey.
Post-Adoption Resources
Adoption doesn’t end at adoption finalization. Through the North Dakota Post Adopt Network, families can access continued support, peer connections, education, and resources whether they adopted through foster care, infant adoption, international adoption, or guardianship.
