Services Provided: Who We Are

LDS Family Services is operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As such, we follow Church welfare principles.

Current Services Offered by LDS Family Services:

LDS Family Services provides consultation and referral services to prospective adoptive parents who are living in the United States and who are referred by their bishop or branch president. A consultation can help you find legal help, home study services, and placement services.

The agency also maintains a website of prospective adoptive couples that meet the eligibility criteria. This website is primarily used by LDS Family Services staff in working with single expectant parents who are making an adoption plan for their child and are searching for an LDS adoptive couple. While the numbers of single expectant parents visiting this site fluctuates, it is generally a small number.

Community Services

Adoptive couples may seek the following services from community resources:
•Pre-adoption education
•Adoption home study
•Placement services
•Post-placement services
•Legal services

If needed, LDS Family Services can consult with you to find a community service provider in your area

LDS Family Services provides assistance with pre-marital counseling, adoption or single parenting, with a bishop's referral. LDS Family Services can also refer you to resources in the community.

Services Provided: Youth Homes offers foster care and adoption services through our Dan Fox Family Care Program. We place children into families that we have recruited, screened, trained and licensed, plus we support placements made by the Montana Child and Family Services Division (the State child welfare agency).

Our goal is to create and maintain healthy family environments within which children who’ve been abused and neglected can begin to heal and find permanency or stability. Some placements are time limited, and the child stays as a foster placement while he or she works toward reunification with his or her biological family. Many times, however, the child is available and appropriate for permanent placement, and we will work toward adoption or guardianship.

Youth Homes offers foster care and adoption services through our Dan Fox Family Care Program. They place children into families that they have recruited, screened, trained and licensed, plus they support placements made by the Montana Child and Family Services Division (the State child welfare agency).

Family Support Services:
The Family Support Services Program is designed to help families with a challenging child in the home. Their ambition is to help families through crisis, provide them ongoing support, and assist them in developing better skills for living with their children. They believe that with in-home therapy, coaching, and guidance, they can help support parents to maintain the child in the family's care. The length of their services is generally between three and twelve months.

Group Home:
The group homes offer care, guidance and treatment. Each home has a different program design that is targeted to address the unique differences of age and gender and issues of the youngsters in each home. See "Montana Youth Group Homes" for list of group homes and their contact information.
