Jewish Family and Career Services

Jewish Family and Career Services (JFCS) is a not for profit health and human services agency founded in 1908. We're a licensed child-placing agency and an active member of the Kentucky Adoption Coalition.

JFCS staff members are licensed social workers with many years of experience in the adoption field serving individuals and couples of all ages, races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds throughout the state of Kentucky.

Services

  • Home Studies for Domestic and International placements. JFCS staff facilitate your home study process to help you complete required forms, understand the adoption process, and learn about the needs of children. All home studies may be used with licensed out of state agencies.
  • Independent Adoption Placement Investigations, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These services are designed for those families who are pursuing an independent placement.
  • Post Placement Services for families to help in the adjustment process in their new family and to assist in finalizing the adoption. Group programs and continuing education sessions are also held.
  • Information and Counseling Services to help couples, adoptees and birth families in each stage of the adoption process understand their needs, learn about adoption and explore their own concerns and issues. JFCS also provides information and referral services.
