The Foster / Adoption Process
How can you adopt a waiting child?
If you are ready to make a difference in a child’s life, the first step is to call us at (toll-free) 888-732-4453. We'll tell you about the children and our process, ask you a few questions, and tell you when and where our next orientation is.
The Training Process
Adoption SF serves children who come from a variety of challenging backgrounds. Our training sessions give you insight into the complexities of early trauma as well as new ways of helping children heal and thrive.
The 20-hour training consists of three 9am-3pm Saturday sessions and one 6-8pm evening session.

Confidentiality
We understand that during the home study process you will trust us with sensitive information, and we guard that information carefully. Confidentiality is a top priority. In addition, Federal Law is very specific about confidentiality for both your family and the children with whom we work.
