STARING DOWN A MOUNTAIN OF PAPERWORK?

If you want to adopt and are looking into what steps you must take in order to bring a child into your family, you’re likely realizing that the paperwork required for a home study can… stack up. Figuring out where to start, how to keep track of everything, and even how to fill out detailed forms can be quite daunting. But the process doesn’t have to be so overwhelming.

At Adoption & Beyond, we have an efficient home study process and friendly staff ready to help.

We know you’re eager to get the paperwork behind you and get on with the homecoming of your child, so we work efficiently, normally completing our portion of the home study process within 60 days.

ADOPTION IS A JOURNEY

WE’RE HERE FOR YOU,
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

Testimonials

Thank you again for all of your assistance. You’ve truly been wonderful! I’m CCing Steffany on this just to say that we both appreciate y’all working with us as a military family. Our timetable with only living in Kansas for 11 months is difficult, but we’re so grateful that the bulk of all of this [home study] is already done because you allowed us to. The portal system makes things much easier than some systems we know others use. I can’t imagine how much time in Kansas we would lose if we had to wait until arriving to start doing anything. Thank you again!

The attorney we used to file our case specifically commented on how thorough and well done our home study was. Thanks!

Dennis and Mendy

I was actually thinking about adoption and beyond this week… I recently got my LOA, and learned that a very high percentage of families who needed one or more waivers are getting no letters instead of LOAs from China. I’m certain that the thoroughness and detail in my home study contributed significantly to my family getting past the higher level of scrutiny that’s now being applied.

I want to tell you that we had our home study this past Friday and we attended the international workshop on Saturday. I am so impressed with the wonderful ladies that work with you to help us through our adoption journey. It was such a pleasure to meet our social worker and welcome her into our home. And, then Saturday was relaxed and so informative. Margie was a joy to get to know

I LOVED being a part of A & B. While I wish my time following my passion for adoption had been longer lived, I am SO grateful that I was able to follow my dream for even a few short years. You are a very special person and the agency you have created is top notch. You should feel very, very proud! Let’s keep in touch via Facebook and otherwise.

HERE’S A LITTLE ABOUT US:

I’m Steffany, and I founded Adoption & Beyond, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, in 1998. I, along with each member of our staff, have been both personally and professionally impacted by adoption, and many of us have been through the home study process ourselves.

As a non-profit, Hague Accredited child-placing agency, we work diligently to uphold ethical values and transparency in everything we do, while always keeping the child’s best interests at heart. It’s our privilege to assist approximately 100 families per year with their home study process.

 Thank you so much for all your help. By the way, when I was at the embassy the American working there looking at our paperwork said your home study was the most quickly approved and best she had ever seen and I know it is due to all your agency’s quality of workmanship. We have so enjoyed working with you and are looking forward to doing our post-placement work with you!
