Seamen’s Society for Children and Families - Adoption

Permanency planning for children occurs from the moment they are placed with Seamen’s Society. When it is not possible for a child to return home and parental rights have been terminated, the adoption process begins. At Seamen’s Society our foster parents become adoptive resources for the children in their home who become legally freed. Once an adoptive home is found for the child, the adoption specialist assists the child and adoptive family to complete the necessary paperwork. Our adoption team provides supportive services to families and children to make the adoption experience a positive one.
