Statement of Purpose

This agency was created to meet the needs of adopting families in Louisiana by delivering ethical, efficient and quality services as required by the State of Louisiana, the child placing agency/attorney, and for international adoptions, requirements as outlined by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. We specialize in the pre-placement home studies of adopting families, post-placement supervision of adopting families and other services; such as, adoption home study updates and referral services. Adoptive family pre-placement home study services are open to all residents who meet the Louisiana criteria for services and the criteria for the state, country, or agency with whom they are working.

About Mary
Mary is a licensed clinical social worker in the State of Louisiana. Mary has worked as a social worker in helping children since 1980. She began working intensely in the adoption arena in 1993. In addition to completing adoption home studies, she began working for an International Adoption Agency in Tulsa, Oklahoma, (Dillon International), as the Adoption Supervisor. One of her primary job functions was to approve home studies that were completed across the Country. One of the highlights of her experience was traveling to Calcutta, India to visit an orphanage and bringing a baby boy home to his new family in Florida. She absolutely loved being a part of the team effort to bring children home to loving families. In 1995, her family moved to Southern Louisiana. Since then, Mary has worked to continue in that effort. She began by establishing herself as a reputable home study provider. Mary established Adoption Home Studies, Inc., a licensed agency in 2000, in response to a growing requirement for the adoption home study to be provided by a licensed agency. In 2003, she began to slowly develop a team of dedicated social workers to serve the many areas of Louisiana. Mary cherishes the life experiences she has in helping families build their family through adoption.
