| Starting
the adoption process with FIA is easy. Everyone begins by first registering
and attending one of our Get Acquainted Workshops. These weekend workshops are
where you learn everything about adoption and FIA. Click
here to visit the Get Acquainted Workshops page. FIA offers comprehensive
support for prospective adoptive couples, singles and families including home
study and post-placement services, counseling and exposure to pregnant women/couples.
In all cases, the adopting couple has to complete a home study process which includes
post-placement follow-up. The adoptive single/couple pays for all the adoption
related expenses incurred by the pregnant woman/couple, including legal and medical
expenses, counseling expenses, and, if need be, living and traveling expenses
as approved by law. Friends in Adoption Programs Domestic
