Finding Families for Children & Providing Ongoing Support
In 2012, the Children’s Home Society of Minnesota (Children’s Home) and Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS) combined complementary adoption services, high standards of quality, and experience in creating and supporting families. To meet the growing need of children in Minnesota’s foster care system, in 2018, Children’s Home expanded our services to provide licensing, education, and preparation for foster care resource families.
Both organizations have a long history that began with the mission of providing care and finding families for orphaned children in 1865 (LSS) and 1889 (Children’s Home). Our current adoption services include international adoption, infant adoption, foster care, foster care adoption, and post-adoption services.
Our Shared Values
Child-Centered — The child's best interest is at the center of our work. We believe that all children deserve and need permanent families.
Best Practice — We are committed to using best practices that provide thorough, ethical, transparent, and inclusive services throughout the adoption and foster care journey. We strive to provide quality services that meet the needs of children and families and set an example of excellence for the adoption and foster care community.
Respect for All Voices — We value the perspectives of all people we serve; the voices of adopted persons, foster youth, birth or first families, and adoptive families from our practice.
Collaboration — We believe in fostering relevant and effective relationships to support children and families.
Lifelong — We recognize that adoption is a lifelong journey and believe that all adoption circle members should have access to education, support, and resources at every stage of life.
