Triangle Adoption Services
Triangle Adoption Services is a licensed adoption agency specializing in adoptive home study and post-adoption services to families residing in North Carolina. Our agency has adoption social workers located across the state to serve families beyond the home office in Chapel Hill. These regions include Asheville, Charlotte, Wilmington, Winston Salem, and surrounding areas. Our social workers are seasoned adoption professionals with the highest recommendations from satisfied clients.
Also known as a pre-placement assessment, the home study is one of the first steps required in the adoption process. With over twenty years of experience in adoptions, agency owner and director Susan Brown will provide professional, timely, and knowledgeable support to guide you through the adoption process each step of the way.
As your home study agency, we work closely with your child-placing agency, consultant, and/or adoption attorney to ensure all requirements are met for a smooth and efficient adoption process. We also provide services to families seeking step-parent and relative adoptions.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The state requires that foster parents get licensed through their local Department of Social Services or a licensed private agency. These sources will be your best form of support. Through them, you'll receive training and have a point of contact for emergencies.
If you ever have questions, reach out to your case manager. They're trained to assist foster families and the children in their care.
The Foster Family Alliance of North Carolina is a statewide association that recruits new parents, provides training, and offers support. You can find training and webinars online. You can also read parenting tips, find your region, and more.
The National Foster Parent Association is a non-profit that provides training and education. Caregivers can also find free online training through the NFPA.
The NC Division of Social Services (NC DSS) is the agency in charge of overseeing the state's child welfare system. NC Kids assists new foster parents with the early stages of the process. You can find children awaiting adoption and access foster care and adoption support services.
It also helps to form connections with other foster families, especially those with years of experience. You may have questions or need advice from them. It can make you feel like you have someone on your side through your journey.

We can't say enough good things about working with Triangle Adoption Services. Erin was a joy to meet with as we followed the process from home study to post-placement visits for our son's adoption.

Thank you Erin & Amanda for your work on our home study and post-placement assessment. Your flexibility and willingness to help prepare our family for embryo adoption was appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to learn about this non traditional adoption option and work with our adoption agency. Everything went smoothly and your responses were always very timely. We are very thankful for Triangle's part in our daughter's adoption story!
