Available Services:

• Counseling and support services throughout the process: from family assessment (home study) to a child joining your family until the adoption is finalized.  Finalization is usually completed after the child has been with your family for a minimum of six months. Delaware children who have been in the foster care system receive Medicaid benefits until age 18, even after they are adopted; this covers health benefits and the cost of counseling. Some children with specialized needs may receive an additional subsidy until age 18.  
   

• Post-adoption Services: CFF offers free post-adoption services to any adoptive family living in the First State. The supports are also available to parents who have been granted Permanent Guardianship of children who experienced foster care in Delaware. Every family, regardless of their situation, may need support. You are the expert in your family’s needs, so reach out to learn more about services that may be able to help you and your loved ones. Services include individualized family support, support groups, training sessions, parent coaching, family counseling, crisis management, post-adoption therapy, services to support birth family connections and more.
