We carefully screen and evaluate all couples who seek to adopt through CFS. They must go through a detailed examination of their personal backgrounds, marriage relationship, psychological and emotional stability, financial responsibility and their views on children and parenting.

Adoptive parents also are required to attend an educational workshop where they learn about various issues related to adoption. They learn that "birthparents don’t care" is really not true! They learn that a child may want to know their birthparents and they understand and accept that this is not a threat to them. They learn the importance of being open with their children about adoption and how to encourage positive feelings about being adopted.

Adopted parents who are approved through our agency are Christian people who very much wish to share their love and their lives with a child. They see adoption as a very positive way to have or enlarge their family. They understand that, although they will love this child as their very own, the child is special in that he or she has a unique heritage provided by his or her birthparents as well. Remember, You Make All The Choices.
