Homeward
Post-Adoption Support
Bringing your child home is a beginning, not a finish line. Once your child is home, needs like therapy, medical and dental care, and specialized equipment can add up quickly — and many families don’t realize there are grants for these needs, too. With Homeward, we help you find them and show you how to apply, so cost doesn’t stand between your child and the care they need.
Your Personal Grant List
We start by learning your child’s needs and what’s already covered. Then we build a personalized list of grants that fit your family, with eligibility, amounts and deadlines all in one place. No more endless searching or wondering what’s out there. You’ll know exactly where to apply and when, so your time and energy can stay where they belong: with your family.
Benefits Worth Asking About
Grants aren’t the only support available after placement. Along the way, we’ll point you to benefits worth looking into, like the federal adoption tax credit and, for adoptions from foster care, state adoption assistance. Many families miss these simply because no one told them to ask. We’ll help you know what questions to ask and where to start.
Family Centered Support
For this season of your journey, you’ll have our support in every sense — emotional, financial, and spiritual. Life after placement brings its own joys and challenges, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you need encouragement on a hard day, guidance on your next financial step, or simply someone to walk alongside you in prayer, we’re here for you, however you need us.
A Step-by-Step Framework
Applying for grants can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re adjusting to life at home. We give you a clear, step-by-step framework and checklist that walks you through every application, from gathering documents to writing about your family’s needs. You’ll have everything you need to apply with confidence, at a pace that works for your family.
Want Extra Help Applying?
Some families are happy to apply on their own with their framework in hand. Others would rather have us do it. Grant applications can be added à la carte, so we can submit applications on your behalf, just like with any of our packages. It’s your choice how much support you’d like, and you can add more anytime.
How It Works
We begin with a one-on-one call to understand your child’s needs, your family’s story, and what’s already covered. From there, we send your personalized grant list, framework and checklist. For the next month, you’ll have email support as you work through your applications, with someone in your corner to answer questions, review your next steps, and cheer you on along the way.
