Consultation
and Education
Consultation
and Education: Educating parent(s) about the adoption
process and offering professional guidance and support services
both before and after placement.
Home
Studies: Our home studies are performed immediately
after the required background clearances are completed. This avoids
delays in the adoption process, as our turnaround time from visit
to finished product is minimal. We will perform in-home visits
and interviews with all family members and provide a comprehensive
report, acceptable throughout the United States.
Legal
Support: Our attorneys will provide legal advice
and will provide adoptive parent(s) with all necessary documentation,
and a complete “map” of the legal process of adoption.
Once completed by parent(s), documentation is submitted and executed
personally by our attorneys who will offer personal representation
at adoption-related court appearances.
Background
Screenings: We will assist parent(s) in obtaining
all required background screenings and other credentialing required
by law. AmericanKidz Adoption Services employs a licensed Private
Investigator to expedite the screening process.
Child
search: Our agency will assist you in all phases
of the pre-placement search period. We will partner with you in
the process as we both seek a child or children to complete your
family unit. Our agency will assist in your search within Florida
and across the United States. Furthermore, we will work with you
to examine available records and documentation so you can learn
as much as possible about your new child(ren) prior to placement.
Training:
We can direct families to all training which is required for adoption
and/or foster care. These include, but are not limited to: MAPP,
CPR, and Water Safety.
Referrals
for Community Services: The AmericanKidz staff
is well-acquainted with local and statewide community agencies
available to provide a variety of services for families and children.
Based on your family needs, we will guide you to the resources
available, and work with you to develop a respite network.
Post
Placement Services:
We will provide post-placement visits as required by law, for our families that have completed their home study through our agency, including
counseling, education and documentation. Furthermore, we are available
for consultation on an ongoing basis to help you navigate the
adjustment process. We will assist with referrals to community
agencies for medical, psychological or developmental services,
as needed for your child(ren).
