Lutheran Counseling and Family Services

We had an amazing experience working with Kate from LCFS during the process of adopting both of our sons in 2018 & 2019. Kate helped us navigate the entire process from home studies, getting matched with a birth mom and through the legal adoption. Even after the process was complete, we enjoyed the yearly gatherings with Kate and all the adoption families for a summer bbq. The lifelong friends and support we have found within LCFS has been such a blessing!

Adoption Note When my wife and I were considering going through the process for adoption, the one thing that we were told was that it was extremely important to find the right agency, and the right case worker to guide us on our journey. Now, as we sit here with a beautiful baby boy, we are so incredibly thankful that LCFS was there for us on both counts. LCFS is definitely a smaller agency, but that was something we viewed as a positive. We were able to build an incredibly strong relationship with our case worker, Kate, and she handled every aspect of the adoption process. Whether it was our home study, the educational classes, the various court hearings, our case worker was there for us, and wasn’t afraid to tell it to us straight. Her approach was that of honesty, and we appreciated that. From that very first meeting, to a year and a half later when we left the hospital with our son, our case worker was there, and we will never forget all she did for us! My wife and I wouldn’t hesitate to partner with LCFS again for any potential future adoptions; and we heartily recommend them every chance we get!

We found out about LCFS through a friend's recommendation when we were looking for an adoption agency. They were professional and down-to-earth, and did a great job through-out the adoption process. In particular, we very much enjoyed working with Kate Feiertag, the adoption coordinator, as she helped us with our paperwork and home-study, coordinated things with the birth mom, and guided us through the legal process. We were so blessed to have found Kate and LCFS and would highly recommend them for anyone looking into adoption.
