Between 2019 and 2021, AdoptUSKids surveyed states and territories to learn more about what post-adoption and guardianship services look like across the country. We learned about services offered in the following categories:
- Basic services, like child and youth assessments
- Enhanced services, including peer support for parents and caregivers
- Intensive services, a category that includes in-home therapeutic services
We also asked about funding sources and eligibility for services.
