Hand in Hand International Adoptions
Established in 1974, Hand in Hand is a full-service international adoption agency. We have placed nearly 10,000 children with loving families in the United States because we believe every child deserves a place to call home and a family of their own. Hand in Hand is Hague-accredited by the Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity (IAAME). Welcome to the beginning of your adoption journey!
Where you are located helps determine what services we can provide to you. Rest assured, if you are in the United States, we can help. If you are a U.S. citizen living abroad, we can also help you adopt from most of the countries we serve.
With offices in Colorado, Indiana, Utah, and Florida, we are a full-service placement agency able to walk you through the adoption process from start to finish. That means home study, training, dossier preparation, child match referrals, travel, placement, post-placement visits and support, and adoption validation (and everything in between!) all rolled into one seamless package.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many adults are eligible to become foster parents in their state but do not always realize it. Each state in the U.S. has regulations and requirements for licensing foster parents. Florida does not require parents to own a large home or quit their jobs and become stay-at-home parents. Florida foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Prove good health and ability to care for a child
- Maintain a stable income
- Pass a background screening
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete a Home Study
The required training course is free to aspiring foster parents. It helps parents learn how to foster children and become licensed to provide foster care in Florida.
