Lutheran Adoption Service - Flint

Lutheran Adoption Service is Michigan's largest full service private adoption agency, providing services for International, Domestic Infant & State Ward adoption services. Lutheran Adoption Service specializes in the placement of children from the State’s foster care system. Many children in foster care are in need of permanent adoptive homes. Most of these children have been neglected, abused or abandoned by their birth parents. The majority of children waiting for adoptive homes are African-American. Many of them are school age, male or are part of a sibling group who need to be placed together. Learning disabilities, developmental delays and emotional problems are common. Most of these children are in need of ongoing therapy and adoptive families find this a key ingredient to success.

The Adoption Process: Prospective adoptive parents attend an orientation and training program, and then file a formal application. Lutheran Adoption Service will conduct a thorough assessment of your family. We will identify a child or sibling group we think will do well as part of your family. You will be able to visit with the child(ren) and decide if it is a good match. After the child is placed in your home, we will supervise the placement for at least 6 months until the adoption is finalized.
