TFI offers a variety of services to best assess your family’s needs to provide a forever home to a child.
TFI provides foster care to place children available for adoption in supportive homes. Many children, including teens and siblings, are waiting for permanent families.
Adoption requires openness and collaboration among Case Management Providers, Foster Care Team, DCF, the legal system and the child’s birth family.
Looking ahead, TFI remains committed to expanding and enhancing its programs and services. Our adoption program reflects this dedication and will continue to evolve to meet the needs of families and children, helping them achieve a brighter future.

Adults who want to open their hearts and homes to children by making a lifetime commitment. There are no barriers as to family composition to become an adoptive family. An adoptive family can be a two parent or one parent home in which the parent(s) are 21 or older.
Every person living in the home 10 and older must pass criminal background checks, as well as personal reference checks. The family must successfully complete the PS-MAPP Training and a detailed family assessment. The house must provide an adequate and safe space for the children.
Children who need adoptive homes come in all ages, races and with varying degrees of special needs. The greatest need for adoptive families are those who want to care for children over eight years old and for sibling groups.
Sometimes through community involvement, such as school, church, scouting, sports, families develop a relationship with a child who is available for adoption. In this situation, the family needs to contact TFI to express their interest in the particular child. Families who know the child go through the same approval process as families who do not know the child.
Keeping children connected to their family is a priority with TFI, Inc. Family members are highly encouraged to express their interest in adopting by contacting the child’s case manager.
