Prospective foster families can contact a Colorado child placement agency or your local Department of Human Services. Social workers in these child welfare agencies will provide information about Colorado's child welfare system, foster care, and the adoption process.
Social workers recommended that other adults and children in your home agree to provide long-term home care, too. If everyone is ready to welcome a new child, your local agency will help your home become an approved foster home.

Adoption options has been great. We have had Laura and she has been extremely positive and supportive. We are excited to be part of the flexible family program and we feel it's the best choice for us.

The Birth mother counselor withheld important information from the adoptive parents of my child. She also harassed me into signing the papers before I was ready. I ended up having to call the police in order to get her to stop calling me multiple times a day. I do not recommend this adoption agency. I have filed multiple complaints. They do not care about birth mothers or adoptive parents, they only care about getting paid.

We used Adoption Options because it was the agency chosen by the birth mother. I was under the impression she liked her counselor so I never thought to change agencies even though, from the start, they were rude and hard to contact. As the adoption progressed it only escalated. This agency insists on SEMI-OPEN adoption NOT OPEN adoption. We were interested in an open adoption and they never supported it. They still proceeded as if it was a semi-open adoption which put a strain on the new relationship we had with the birth mother. This poor attitude came to a head at the hospital when the adoption counselor made an extremely rude comment as my husband and I were leaving the birth mother's room with our son. I was hugging the birth mother and reminding her she can call, text, email, any time of day even 2 in the morning if she just needs to hear our son breath. The comment from the counselor was "can we get that in writing? hahaha". It is hard enough to navigate the birth/adoptive parent relationship adding this kind of strain is just cruel. If you are a birth mother and wanting an open adoption please consider another agency. One that will encourage your relationship with your new family.
If you are considering any type of adoption proceed with caution, they are after your money! They will give you a fee agreement that you will sign and will be in place until your son/daughter is in your arms. Then more fees will be tacked on. We were terrified of fighting the people that held our fate with our son so we paid up. I am sure we could have fought it, considering the fee agreement but when we looked at our son we thought it was not worth the risk. They are still trying to get more money, even after the adoption is finalized. They want us to send them an update letter that they will then send to the birth mom, despite the fact that we text updates and pictures to her at least once a week. They want to charge us over $1000 for this "service".
To round out our bad experience they recently sent us letters from the counselor that we are supposed to give to our son. They talk about her experience with the birth mother. Not only are there inaccuracies throughout but they also contained personal information about his birth mother that should never be told to him unless his birth mother wants to tell him. They went straight to the trash.
Our adoption is final now so I guess they did something right but please, please avoid this agency.
