Professionals

How we can help
If you are a professional working on behalf of a former youth in care, an adult adoptee or adoptive/guardianship parents, we may be able to help.

If you are an adoption preservation worker,  attorney, a licensed mental health provider or a medical doctor who needs documentation from IDCFS for your patient/client for treatment or service, we may be able to assist you. Please contact our intake worker to discuss your patient/client's specific situation.
