Julia Childers, Ph.D, LCSW Executive Director WELCOME! If you are visiting this site, you have started a very wonderful journey and made the important decision to build your family through adoption Most of us are at least familiar with the concept of God's adoption of us when we become Christians. Adoption embodies the biblical theme of the covenant. It is important to see that adoption is more than a legal contract - it is a relationship of promise. In Paul's era, a man might be able to disown his biological son if he had good reason, but he could never disown his adopted son. The adoption analogy used by Paul was a strong one indeed.

ADOPTIONS IS YOUR FULL SERVICE AGENCY!!  We are a North Carolina licensed private adoption agency. We provide adoption services to North Carolina residents.  As an experienced professional Social Worker and Psychologist with over 20 years in Children and Family Services, Julia Childers and her staff provide caring concern and expertise for anyone interested in adoption.  Our agency offers FULL adoption services.    GETTING STARTED..  HOME STUDIES----You cannot become involved in the adoption process without a HOME STUDY or a Preplacement Assessment as it may also be called.  The HOME STUDY is the legal document required by all 50 states approving a couple or individual to adopt a child (ren).    Our agency only places children with couples who have home studies completed by our agency.  This assures us we know the couples personally and can have a good idea of what a couples' expectations and criteria are. WHAT IS A HOME STUDY?  The Home Study is a report that is developed after you complete general paperwork for the agency.  There is an first interview in our office and then there is an interview in your home.  The Home Study contains information regarding your residence, education, age, finances, criminal history, medical history, marital status, family composition, occupation, and general life information.  It includes your views and expectations about adoption as well as the age and race of the child (ren) you would like to adopt.  It includes the information that is required by the State of North Carolina. WHAT DOCUMENTS SHOULD I GATHER FOR THE STUDY?  You will be asked to gather some very basic documents.  Copies are fine, you do not need originals.  You will need birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees if applicable, criminal background check from your County Law Enforcement Office, Statements of Good Health from your Healthcare provider, financial information, employment information, reference letters, and of course your application for adoption which our agency provides to you.  When you have completed the paperwork and gathered your documents, we are a phone call away.  We will set your office interview usually within the week.  Your Home Study can be in your hands within ten days.  We take great pride in our prompt approval process.  We "understand" you are excited and anxious to begin your adoption journey!  We want you to parent, but most of all, we want your adoption experience to be comforting.  We reallize your fears, confusion and your overall anxiety.  We are here to lessen those emotions and lead you through a positive adoption experience.  We build families through listening!  Our staff is ready to listen and answer all your adoption questions.  We take great pride on being informal and casual.  We understand and realize your goal is to build your family. We want you to be comforted and educated about your entire adoption experience.  We will talk with you in language you can understand.  We will listen intently to your needs and expectations.  Together, we will develop your plan for adoption.  We are experienced!  We are successful  because       WE LISTEN TO YOU!   WE LISTEN TO BIRTHPARENTS! 2008 BLESSINGS!!!!!
