Pauquette Adoption Services (PAS) is an adoption agency licensed by the State of Wisconsin to provide adoption services throughout the entire State of Wisconsin.  We are also able to work with out-of-state families who are interested in our China or India programs.  PAS provides the full range of adoption services including parent education, home study, assistance in locating an adoptable child, post-placement services, and birth parent services.  We will assist with agency adoptions, parent-initiated, international agency-initiated, and independent adoptions.  Our staff consists of social workers with years of experience in adoption.  Pauquette Children's Services has placed over 2,500 children since it was founded in 1982.  

Babies and children of all ages and racial backgrounds are in the need of homes.  The adoptive parents may select either a healthy child or one with correctable or non-correctable handicaps.  Sibling groups are often waiting for a family of their own.  

 Couples between the ages of 21 and 50 who have been married for at least one year and singles who are between the ages of 25 and 50 may apply for our adoption programs.  Most programs do not have infertility or family size requirements.  Pauquette has no religious requirements.  A home study completed by Pauquette Adoption Services is current for one year or until placement of a child.  If a child is not placed in the home in that time, Pauquette will continue to update the study at no additional cost.

There is no waiting list for the home study which is usually completed within four to eight weeks.  The home study consists of an initial group informational meeting with other couples, followed by separate interviews with each couple in our office and in your home.  At the same time you are involved in the home study, you will be gathering the documents required for your adoption.  Post placement services are provided to your family for the purpose of successfully integrating the child into the family.  Court reports are submitted and the legal adoption of your child is completed.

Informational meetings regarding our programs are held every month at our office in Portage.  Check the News/Events Page (or call our office) for the next scheduled meeting date.  If you are interested in attending one of these meetings, please call our office to register.  There is no charge for informational meetings.
