Since its founding, St. Elizabeth has placed more than 600 babies. Each adoption represents the love of a birth mother and the loves of an adopting family. Are you pregnant and considering adoption? We understand how hard and scary it can be, but you have options. That’s why we’re here to help you.The process of making an adoption plan is very much for a birthmom like the process of infertility treatments for an adoptive couple. They have a lot in common. They have ridden the same rollercoaster of emotion. They know grief. They know disappointment. And the miracle of it is when a couple who has known the grief of infertility comes in contact with and is blessed with a child of a woman who’s known the grief of poverty or lack of ability at the time to parent a child. So, it’s kind of a miraculous meeting of two people from different worlds who need each other.

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.

This agency is not an honorable adoption agency. They will tell you anything to get you to sign the surrender. They will pretend to "work with you", "help you" and "respect your wishes". Once you sign your child over to them, they can careless how you feel. All the promises are lies. They kept our child (my-stepchild that is in me and her father's custody and care) in a transition home for almost SIX MONTHS after telling me the child would be with the adoptive parents the next day. We received the adoptive parents profile only after nine requests and four months later. They promised we would meet the adoptive parents. They promised we would get visits. None of this was honored. The director lied and I have all the text messages to prove it. She will then tell you "it was a traumatic day for you and I am sure you just don't remember clearly...". She will deny that she said any of these things to you. The child placed for adoption was a difficult case and I am the step parent but I loved this child and raised her as if she were my own. Choosing adoption was the most logical and difficult thing to do but the best thing for the child. It was a very difficult decision but due to the circumstances, the choice was to let her go to have a life where a couple had been longing and waiting for her. It was the best thing to do to keep her safe and allow her to have a chance at a good life.
If you or anyone you know are seeking adoption as an option, whether you are looking to adopt or thinking about placing your child for adoption, please find another agency. There are many others out there that I would hope operate with more integrity. Do your research and don't sign anything just based on their verbal bullshit. Get it in black and white. These people are dishonest on every level. If I had to guess, they probably were not truthful to the adoptive parents regarding the situation either. Also, upon me telling the director that I would make what they did public, reveal all of the text messages she sent to me, she said I am threatening St. Elizabeth and her personally. I believe it is my right to make my opinion and my experience public.
