Connect with our past clients about their adoption experience

While considering which agency you will work with, we recommend that you contact reference families to ask them about their experience. The following is a list of adoptive parents who have agreed to be references for Children’s Home or Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota. They have agreed to be contacted by anyone who is considering an adoption through Children’s Home or Lutheran Social Service and are eager to share about their overall adoption experience. These individuals are not compensated financially or otherwise for their participation.
