Metairie Adoption Agencies

We are in the process of building our adoption agency database to help with adoption. Please be patient as we're improving our system to serve you better.

CCANO Adoption Services

The Adoption Services of Catholic Charities is a full-service, non-profit child placing agency that offers domestic and international adoption. We provide services to birth parents and families considering adoption. We serve those of all religious and ethnic backgrounds within the greater New Orleans area. Our agency is staffed by certified open-adoption practitioners, experienced in maternity and adoption services, who believe every child deserves a safe, loving home.

Jewish Family Services

JFS is pleased to offer adoption home studies and post-placement studies. The state of Louisiana requires a home study for any couple or individual who wants to adopt. If a family is planning to adopt internationally, a home study is required by the Immigration and Naturalization Service as well. A home study consists of 4-6 interviews, one of which is a home visit. An individual interview is held with each member of the adoptive family in order to obtain biographical information. The main purpose of the home study, however, is to educate families about adoption and the special issues that adoptive families face. Adoptive parents must deal with such things as explaining adoption to their child, handling their child’s questions about his or her biological parents, and to understand that both heredity and environment work together to create a unique person.

Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans - Adoption Program

Since 1942, Volunteers of America’s Adoption Program has helped create thousands of loving families through adoption. As a licensed adoption agency, Volunteers of America works with birth parents and adoptive parents through all aspects of adoption – offering openness in adoption, assistance with accessing medical care, free counseling and follow-up support.
