THE AGENCY ALSO PROVIDES HOME STUDIES AND POST PLACEMENT/ADOPTION SERVICES FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE WORKING WITH PARTNER AGENCIES TO ADOPT CHILDREN FROM COUNTRIES WHERE BARKER DOES NOT HAVE PROGRAMS.
FAMILY AND POST ADOPTION SERVICES: ONE OF THE BARKER ADOPTION FOUNDATION'S HALLMARKS IS ITS COMMITMENT TO POST-ADOPTION SERVICES. OUR SERVICES DO NOT END WHEN A CHILD IS PLACED WITH A FAMILY, FOR WE RECOGNIZE THAT ADOPTION IS A LIFELONG JOURNEY, WITH NORMAL DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES AND TASKS. AN INCREASING BODY OF LITERATURE SUPPORTS THE IDEA THAT POST-ADOPTION SUPPORTS AND SERVICES SERVE TO STRENGTHEN FAMILIES CREATED THROUGH ADOPTION. BARKER IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THESE SUPPORTS AND EDUCATION TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE ADOPTION CIRCLE: ADOPTED PERSONS, BIRTH PARENTS, AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS.SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION
