Make a Custom Adoption Plan 

Our team will work with you to create a custom adoption plan for your baby. You will be in charge of the adoption plan making. Typically, three types of adoption plans are available: open, semi-open, and closed. You can choose any of these plans for your baby.

Choose the Right Adoptive Family

There is always a family to love, support, and raise your child. Our adoption counselors will help you find the best adoptive family for your child. All these families are pre-screened and verified. If you choose an open adoption plan and want to meet with the adoptive family before finalizing the adoption, we will arrange a meeting.

Adoption Assistance

  • Rent
  • Medical bills
  • Groceries
  • Counseling
  • Telephone Bill
  • Maternity clothing

As per Florida Law, the mother can get all these benefits up to six weeks post-delivery, free of charge.

Official Statement from
Adoption by Shepherd Care

It has come to our attention that the Hulu series Good American Family contains inaccurate information regarding Adoption by Shepherd Care (ASC) and the adoption of Natalia. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the facts.

Contrary to what is presented in the documentary, ASC did not initiate any communication or have any involvement with Mr. or Mrs. Barnett in connection to Natalia’s adoption. The legal adoption process for Natalia was completed in the state of New Hampshire, where the original adoptive family resided, and was facilitated through a New Hampshire-based agency—not Adoption by Shepherd Care.

For those seeking further clarification, we encourage you to watch The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, Season 2, Episode 1, which clearly states that Adoption by Shepherd Care was not the agency responsible for facilitating this adoption.

We want to express our respect for all agencies and professionals engaged in this vital work. However, it is essential that accurate information is shared with the public and that the correct entities are acknowledged for their role in any adoption process.

At Adoption by Shepherd Care, we remain steadfast in our mission to place children in safe, loving, and permanent homes. We uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethical practice, and compassion for the children and families we serve.

We respectfully request that the media and members of the public refrain from further spreading misinformation related to this matter. While we understand the interest in this case, we also urge respect for the privacy and dignity of all individuals involved. Adoption is a deeply personal and emotional journey that must be approached with sensitivity and integrity.

Adoption by Shepherd Care will continue its unwavering commitment to finding loving and permanent placements for children, guided by the principles of honesty, compassion, and respect.
