Cradle of Hope has established a Network Program with adoption agencies across the United States. Our Network Agencies provide families with homestudy and post-placement services, detailed information regarding Cradle of Hope's international programs, and assistance with preparation of the documents and CIS process required for international adoptions. They can also provide counseling, education and support throughout the adoption process. Cradle of Hope staff begins work with each network family once a child referral has been accepted. Network programs work well for families who want to adopt through one of our international programs but would also like to have face to face contact with and direct service from a social worker and/or case coordinator in their local area. Cradle's Network families receive a $1,000 fee reduction in any program.

If you would like more information about our Network Program, please feel free to contact one of the following Network Agencies in your area or the Cradle of Hope office.
