Adoption Services

Every child has the right to a permanent home. The welfare of the child is the primary consideration in adoption with the needs of the prospective parents being secondary. Adoption is the legal and social process whereby the relationship of parent and child is created between persons not related by birth.

Eleven prevention and intervention programs have been identified as model programs (after reviewing more than six hundred) nationwide. These premier programs have documented outcomes to prove their success at preventing problem behaviors among youth. Family Services of NW PA offers Five of these programs.
