Your donation has a real impact at JFS. When an older adult needs quality medical care, a family seeks compassionate counseling, or a couple longs to adopt a child, it is your dollars that make it possible. JFS was founded on the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam, which means to repair the world through acts of kindness and dedicated service, one person at a time.

Called to try to schedule an appointment for my son and was repeatedly told that they could not tell me when they would have any availability. A legitimate business should be able to tell you what current and/or future appointments they have and with what doctors. Melody was not helpful and very evasive. Zero stars was not an option.

JFS adoption is the best. Kristie was an amazing counselor for our family. Expectations set were more than exceeded. The home study, during our private placement (out of state), and finalization were easier because of the constant support. Even in the very few times that our counselor was unavailable, Teresa would step in and provide answers and support needed.

We used Jewish Family Services for the adoption process and had a wonderful experience. Especially with our social worker Teresa Birchett who is wonderful. Even after the adoption process was over I still send updates because I think highly of this organization and Ms. Birchett to give updates on our son that was adopted. I highly recommend Jewish Family Services
