Post Adoption FAQs

Q: I think I was adopted through you, but our paperwork says International Adoptions, Inc. Am I in the right place?

A: Yes. That was our name prior to Wide Horizons For Children, Inc. It changed in the early 1990s, but we are the same organization.

Q: I know I/my family could use some help, but I don’t know what. Can you help?

A: Of course. Please feel free to book a free 15-minute consultation via the calendar below. We will let you know if one of our services is  good match or refer you to other expert options in your community.

Q: I never had the correct US Citizenship documents, but need them now. Can you help?

A: Absolutely. What was possible at time of adoption may be different than what is possible and advised now. We are happy to work with you to review your case and provide advice. Sometimes, this can be accomplished in a quick free consultation (book via the calendar below). Sometimes, you might need to sign up for our file review service which would offer more one-on-one support when completing needed government forms, etc. 

Q: I was adopted from Guatemala and want to travel back. Can you help?

A: While we do not have on the ground staff to assist with travel back in Guatemala, we can certainly provide support that will help you plan the most meaningful trip for yourself. We can also connect you with resources that could help if you wish to search for birth family and provide support regarding search, reunion, and navigating new/old relationships. 

Q: We did not adopt through WHFC. Can we still use your post-adoption services?

A: Certainly! A few of our services are specific to children we placed or limited to certain regions, but most of our services are an option for any adoptive family.  Feel free to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss. 

Q: Why do you charge for post adoption services?

A: While we always want to be available as a resource to adoptive families and children, we are a nonprofit. This means we need to charge for all services that fall outside the fees incurred before and during the adoption process. We do what we can to keep the fees we charge for post-adoption services as low as possible, but we must cover our costs.
