Post-adoption Case Management

Northern Post-Adoption Case Management

Through a partnership with the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.), enCircle offers post adoption case management services to families who have finalized adoptions of children ages birth to 18 and who reside in Virginia. This includes families that have adopted domestically, internationally and through foster care. Referrals may be submitted by families or professionals.

Our goal is to ensure that your family has the guidance and resources you need to grow and thrive, now and into the future. We celebrate the unique qualities of forming a family through adoption.

Our work with you will focus on:

• referring and linking you to needed services.
• providing educational resources on adoption-related topics.
• advocating for you and your family.
• connecting you to other support systems in the adoption community.

We believe you know your family best; we’re here to support your needs and welcome you to the adoption community.
