Post-adoption Case Management

Northern and Eastern Region Post-Adoption and Kinship Case Management Services

Through a partnership with the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.) for the Northern Region of Virginia, and a partnership with Shineforth (formerly UMFS) for the Eastern Region of Virginia, enCircle offers post adoption and kinship case management services to families who reside in Virginia. This includes families that have adopted domestically, internationally, and through foster care, as well as some kinship families. 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 or kinship care.

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 and kinship community.

We serve adoptive and kinship families:

• who reside in Northern and Eastern Virginia.
• with a finalized or pending* adoption.
• with children or youth ages 0-18.
• with youth ages 18-21 still living in the home.
• who are enrolled in KinGAP or the State-Funded Kinship Subsidy Programs.

*Families with a signed APA are eligible for limited services until finalization.

We believe you know your family best; we are here to support your needs!

Fees

Services are free and funded by the Virginia Department of Social Services.
