Hope for Families
Mission Statement
Our Mission
To improve the lives of children by providing loving and nurturing help to birth mothers/fathers, adoptive families, and children in foster care throughout every stage of the adoption journey.
Our Vision
Hope For Families Adoption Services is dedicated to serving children who are not able to be raised by their birth families and for the children remaining in the foster care system without permanent placement. We believe that when adopted by loving parents who provide emotional and fiscal support, children generally thrive later in life. This also provides these children with significantly better opportunities to develop cognitively, socially, physically, and emotionally with the support and nurturing of a permanent family.
Hope for Families Adoption Services is an agency committed to the best interests of children and offers all birth mothers/fathers, regardless of race, health, circumstances, or disability, the option of adoption. We also realize the importance of the post-placement process and make ourselves available for consultation, education, and counseling any time after the adoption.
Hope for Families Adoption Services, Inc. offers:
Adoption education and seminars
Adoption home study services
Emotional support for adoptive families throughout the adoption process
Post placement services, including clinical counseling
New Born adoption program
Hope For Families helps individuals adopt newborn babies and provides home studies, adoptions, and counseling services.

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.
