Counseling Process

As mentioned before, the decision you face is a process. And we hope you will make use of the counseling services provided by CFS to help you through this difficult time. The sooner you start the counseling process the better. We are able to meet with you outside the CFS office if this is more convenient for you. We will work with your schedule to find the time and place that works best for you.

You will be asked at some point and time to provide the agency with background and health information. This is important to pass on to your child. It is also a part of the legal requirements of the court. Generally, you will select the adoptive family you want for your child about your seventh month - although you can do so earlier or later if you desire. You will find us very flexible in working with you. You are the one ultimately in control of your adoption plan.
