Heartsent has three ways of completing adoptions for our adoptive families; direct programs of adoption, networking programs where we work in conjunction with a placement agency, and adoption programs where Heartsent provides the foundational homestudy and post placement services, and the placement is made by another agency. For many years Heartsent has had good relationships with a number of adoption agencies throughout the United States. It is possible for families in California to complete a homestudy and post placement services with Heartsent and to complete an adoption using the child placement services of another agency. This creates the opportunity for a Heartsent family to adopt from many countries where Heartsent does not have direct adoption programs. In this way, Heartsent has assisted adoptive families who have adopted from the following countries: Philippines, Ukraine, Nepal, Peru, Haiti, Sierra Leone, Mexico, India and Korea. Other countries can be worked with, as long as they have an accepted program of adoptions.
Heartsent is also available to provide 'liaison services' to adoptive families who are using a different child placement agency, but who wish to combine the home study process with the collection of paperwork for the adoption dossier. Liaison services from Heartsent include assistance with dossier collection, including the authentication and legalization of the dossier, the child referral process, travel details, and a variety of post placement services. All adoptive families who wish to complete a home study from Heartsent receive classes to assist with a variety of issues relating to the adoption of a foreign born child.
