Waiting Families

LSS has adoptive families who have chosen to put their profiles online, but many have chosen not to be online.  Many more families can be viewed by making an appointment with the birth parent counselor at the location nearest to your home.

We are having a horrible time writing this letter. As we look to why, we realize that it is because we have no clue what it’s like to be in your shoes. We can’t imagine what it’s like to make a decision to choose someone who we will entrust with such a great joy and responsibility. We will try to make your decision easier by telling you a little about ourselves so you can choose if we would be a good match for your child.   Read More or contact CJ at Phone: 608-270-6635 or email: cj.grahn@lsswis.org
