Lund Family Center’s nationally awarded Adoption program, which is licensed by the State of Vermont, offers comprehensive lifelong services for birth parents, pre-adoptive and post-adoptive families, and adoptive children.  Services are delivered by qualified, caring staff members who respond to each family’s individual needs with a personally tailored approach. 

In addition to local and interstate infant and older children adoptions, Lund Family Center is able to assist families who want to pursue an international adoption; the agency conducts the homestudy evaluation and helps the family in completing their dossier.

The agency has developed cutting-edge programming through collaboration with the State of Vermont entitled Project Family. Project Family works to find permanent adoptive homes for “harder to place,” school-age children, including sibling groups, from the State’s foster care system.  These children almost always have social, emotional, and behavioral challenges resulting from neglect and abuse suffered in their birth families. Through Project Family, Lund Family Center coordinates closely with Federal, State, and local agencies to match children with families and to provide the support and services that adoptive families need to be successful. Project Family does not charge families adopting through this program and considers a wide range of family structures.

Lund Family Center strives to make adoption available to all qualifying families, regardless of income or ability to pay.  A sliding scale of fees for adoptions in programs other than Project Family helps to achieve this goal.

Adoption does not end with finalization. Lund Family Center currently employs post-adoption specialists who offer case coordination, counseling, information and referral, advocacy, help with school and community issues, respite support, behavioral consultation, and activity groups for adopted children.  The agency also employs a Search and Reunion Specialist who helps reconnect birth parents and birth children who are seeking to reunite.
