Haven Adoptions, Inc was founded to create a new standard in the field of adoption. As a fully licensed Pennsylvania agency, Haven Adoptions works with women looking for an adoption plan and adoptive families hoping to adopt. Our goal is to provide hope and support to everyone we work with, both biological parents and adoptive clients. Haven Adoptions puts the needs of their biological parents and adoptive parents first.

Haven has a shared passion for adoption and a solid reputation in the adoption field. They are known for the highest level of personal service, support for clients and kindness and compassion for all those going through the process of adoption. They came together to create an adoption agency to provide hope and a fresh start to all families they work with. To better lives. To make a change in the world of adoption. To educate the community. To be involved. To make a difference.

Requirements to become a foster parent

You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care in Pennsylvania. Foster parents for children in need must:

  • Be a minimum of 21 years old
  • Pass a criminal background check with fingerprinting
  • Have time and energy to devote to fostering
  • Live in a safe and healthy environment
  • Prove good health through a medical examination/physical
  • Maintain financial stability
  • Clear all home safety requirements
  • Complete required pre-service training hours
  • Finish the Home Inspection

After fulfilling all requirements during the approval process, licensed foster parents can welcome a foster child into their home. To maintain a valid license, foster parents must also participate in ongoing training each year.

All adults who are living in homes with foster children in Pennsylvania must pass a required criminal background check and fingerprinting. This includes adult children who are family members living at home.

There are other, more detailed requirements for foster homes, such as having a flushing toilet and an operable phone. Prospective foster parents will learn more details during foster parent orientation.

Once you've decided to foster, you can contact a public or private foster agency or the Pennsylvania State Resource Family Association. Foster agencies screen and train prospective foster families and ensure applicants are good candidates for foster care.

The combined knowledge, experience, kindness, and attention that comes with the ladies of Haven Adoptions is unmatched. We can not praise them enough for their support and dedication.

My husband and I had the great pleasure of having Kelly W. as our caseworker during the adoption process that led us to our amazing birthmother and beautiful daughter. Having had a less favorable experience in the past, we were nervous about beginning another journey, but from our first conversation with Kelly we felt comfortable and ready to start again. Her kindness and caring continued all the way through our adoption finalization, and still continues almost 2 years later. Though we had many ups and downs throughout our journey, she listened when we needed to vent, celebrated our victories with us, and offered advice when we were unsure of our next step. We certainly would not have our forever family if it weren't for Kelly. We owe her more than we could ever give for the happiness she helped us find.
