Connecting Hearts takes pride in offering a quality array of adoption programs to families in Wyoming and surrounding areas. Whatever adoption path your family wants to take, we are confident in our ability to assist and support your family in the process.
Connecting Hearts Designated Home Study program is for families who need a home study and possibly post placement services, but do not plan on using Connecting Hearts as the placing agency for an adoption. This might be the case if a family is working with an out of state agency or pursuing an independent adoption. With Connecting Hearts Designated program, we can assist you with as much or as little of the process as your unique situation requires.

Connecting Hearts can help you in your efforts to adopt from the United States Foster Care System. There are over 400,000 children in the foster care system on any given day. Many of these children are waiting for their forever homes.
