Adoption is about accepting and loving a child for all his or her faults. Never go into parenthood expecting perfection Everyone with children knows that life isn’t like that! Like us, no child is perfect but we love them all the same, shortcomings, handicaps and all.

There is an educational program provided to families to help deal with adoption related problems.  Knowing what to expect and being prepared can help parents to act wisely in enabling  the child to reach his or her full potential emotionally and intellectually.

Adoptive families come into adoption for good reasons and with good expectations. While important, good intentions need to be accompanied by knowledge and understanding of potential challenges that may lie ahead. For the past four years, the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol (MOFAS) has worked with adoption and social service agencies like Children’s Home Society & Family Services (CHSFS), Lutheran Social Services, Hope Adoption and MN Adopt/Adoption Support Network, to provide education to adoption professionals and families considering domestic and international adoptions.
