Creating Loving Families Through Adoption
First Coast Adoption Professionals has the extensive knowledge to help adoptive families find the right child for them. Our adoptions are usually semi-open, meaning the birth mother has active participation in selecting adoptive parents. We guide you through every step of the process, from the initial application to the final adoption. Most importantly, we give you the emotional support to deal with the inevitable ups and downs of an adoption.
Broad Geographic Reach
First Coast Adoption Professionals is licensed as an agency in Florida, Connecticut and New York and works with a wide variety of other agencies across the United States. Our large geographic range gives us more flexibility in finding the right homes for children.
Home Studies
Since we guide you through the entire adoption process, our licensed staff also conducts state-regulated home studies and post-placement visits. These studies help us get to know you, your family members and the home environment you would provide to an adopted child.
The in-depth study includes review of your background, employment, income, education, lifestyle, values, family life and more. We conduct home studies not only to comply with state law, but to also help us make the best match possible for both you and the child.

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.

Had arrange therapy for me and my son. My therapist claimed she emailed me many times but never got the email. Had to always reach out. Canceled a appointment last minute and haven’t heard from
Her since. My son therapist never held my son accountable for his actions and his solution to everything was to let him be or leave him alone. SMH. On top of that never made appointments and would just text me “ is your son available today”. So unprofessional and just unorganized. Thumbs down.
