Intermountain - Therapeutic Foster Care & Adoption Services (Helena Office)

There are children waiting for a place to call home! Intermountain recognizes the crucial role caring adoptive families play in helping children grow into healthy adults. Our comprehensive pre-service training and on-going integrated mental health services provide relationship solutions that will help to build a strong, permanent family. Intermountain is a licensed child placing and adoption agency. Our hope is to secure relational and emotional health and a loving, permanent family for each child. We recruit, license, train, and mentor families for therapeutic foster care and adoption. The children placed into families are between the ages of 3 and 18. Once you receive your Therapeutic Foster Care license, Intermountain carefully assesses each child referred to find the right child match for your family. Our dedicated staff then begin providing weekly in-home support to help you build a secure and trusting relationship with your child. Intermountain also works closely with Montana’s Child and Family Services Division to help finalize your child’s adoption.

Catholic Social Services of Montana - Adoptive Services

Adoption can be an exciting and frustrating journey all in the same day. Making a decision to pursue adoption as a way to build your family takes a period of discernment and study. CSSM is determined to provide you with accurate information that will help you with your decision. The first step in the process is to seek and review all the information you can find. We provide you with information about the various types of adoption and help you decide the type of adoption best for you. You decide if you want to adopt a baby from Montana or another state or another country. Our agency provides written materials and a series of videos through our website which describe the process a couple goes through to adopt an infant from CSSM. They help to answer many questions such as: “What is open adoption? Who are the birth parents? How much does it cost to adopt through CSSM? What are the steps we need to go through and how long does it take?” We want you to be well informed before you apply to be adoptive parents.You are invited to visit with the social worker whose office is closest to your home to have your individual questions answered. CSSM helps you to complete the home study process. If you adopt through the CSSM Adoption Program you create materials about your family that are provided to expectant parents. They choose the family for their baby or young child and social workers help you with the process of becoming acquainted and building a relationship. This support continues through the birth and beyond. The key to the success of CSSM’s over 61 years of Adoption is the support and compassion provided to everyone. Each adoption and each family is unique.
