Our mission is to keep the central focus on the needs of each child and to provide compassionate adoption services for the unique individuals involved in the adoption process. Friends in Adoption is committed to empowering individuals and families to make informed decisions.
Our core values form the basis of how Friends in Adoption operates. They guide our team in everything they do as the agency grows and evolves.
Established in 1982, Friends in Adoption is a non-profit, pro-choice, licensed newborn/infant adoption agency with a focus on helping people make informed decisions concerning adoption.
We work with a network of dedicated, experienced, caring adoption professionals. Although our administrative offices are located in Vermont and New York, we are able to provide free and confidential infant adoption services anywhere in the United States.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The Vermont Department for Children and Families and foster associations sponsor workshops for new parents. For instance, the Kin, Foster, and Adoptive Family team trains parents on trauma-informed care, being interculturally responsive, and more.
Even if you have zero parenting experience, you'll learn much of what you need in your training sessions. It will also benefit you to take advantage of other resources for foster parents, such as support groups and educational articles, to continue growing as a caregiver.
Contact your local DCF office or the nearest child-placing agency to access and complete many of these courses for free.
You can get a membership with the Vermont Foster/Adoptive Family Alliance to gain access to a community of foster parents and advocates, learn important news on foster laws, find enrichment activities for kids, etc.
Check your area to find any foster parent support groups. Connecting with other foster families helps you build your network and learn more about Vermont foster care.
Parents who need a break can also access respite care, which is when a foster family temporarily watches over another family's foster child. Respite care is a valuable resource for parents when they need a break or must address an emergency.
