Services and Programs for Adoptive Parents
St. Andre Home helps families create both international and domestic adoption placements. In addition, we serve families interested in adopting children with special needs. In conjunction with these services, our adoption program maintains an active, licensed foster care program for children awaiting placement. In the year 00 our director of Adoption Services was selected the by the Congress of the United States to become Maine's first ever Angel in Adoption, an award given for her many years of outstanding service to Maine children and families. St. Andre's Adoptive Families Association offers support and resources as social gatherings for our adoptive families. Each year we host a Christmas party and a summer beach gathering. Our Executive Director serves on the Board of Directors of the National Council for Adoption in Washington, D.C. Last year the NCFA worked with the United States Congress through the year to strengthen and renew national legislation, guaranteeing tax credits for adoptive families. Our Board of Directors, staff, and Good Shepherd Sisters are pleased make this great service available to families in Maine seeking to adopt children.
Post Legal Adoption Services
Many people who were adopted through our agency, or who placed children in adoptive homes, contact St. Andre Home each year for updated social histories, medical information, or for mutually agreed-upon reunions. Our post-legal-adoption program serves adoptive families, birthmothers, and adult adoptees seeking those particular services. Typically each year about 80 - 100 individuals contact the agency seeking medical information, updated information on an adopted child, counseling, birthmother correspondence, or adoption reunion services. These services are available on a fee for service basis.
