Open Arms Adoption Services, Inc.
Our goal is to provide compassionate, ethical, and professional casework and training to birth parents and prospective adoptive parents. Through our interactions, we hope to facilitate placement of infants and toddlers into well-prepared homes with loving parents who are stable and capable of offering a secure life. We understand that birth mothers and birth fathers who choose adoption are making the supreme sacrifice to find and ask another set of parents to love and raise their children. Our agency mission is to assist each birth parent in finding a family that will offer the best home for the child's needs, offering peace of mind for birth parents while preparing birth parents and adopting families for the lifelong journey of adoption.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You're never alone when you foster as you work as part of a professional team. Louisiana’s Department of Children and Family Services partners with many organizations to help support foster children and the families that care for them.
The collaborative Foster Caregiver Mentor Program encourages peer relationships between foster families. It's an effective way for new resource parents to meet with more experienced caregivers and get advice.
Your local DCFS also has plenty of resources online, including parent handbooks, contact information, and emergency service information. You can learn more about child welfare agencies and how to become a foster parent.
A child-placing agency is always there for you, providing support in times of crisis or even when you have questions. Don't forget about the case worker, who you can contact if you feel lost.
Working with the birth parents is another part of a foster parent's job. However, you don't have to simply contact them to set up visitations and calls. Co-parenting with them is often best for the child, and it can make your job easier.

Angela, the director of Open Arms Adoption Services was absolutely phenomenal with a recent adoption we (MK Adoption Services)worked together on.
She was patient, kind and transparent.
We look forward to working with her again and would highly recommend her agency to any family hoping to adopt or mother considering an adoption plan.
