Latino Family Institute Inc

Adoption program: since 1989, latino family institute (lfi) has been working with individuals and couples from all walks of life to help them realize their dream of becoming a family with children.lfi offers full-service adoption-related services free of charge and is committed to ensuring the best match for each family and child we serve. In keeping with our mission to build strong, nurturing families, it is the policy of lfi not to exclude persons from consideration as prospective adoptive parents on the basis of their race, religion, cultural heritage, physical handicaps, sexual orientation, marital status or age. At lfi, our overriding concern is the timely placement of a child with permanent and nurturing caretakers that are sensitive to childs trauma history and their developmental, social, emotional, cognitive, physical needs.

In 2020, the organization began the unaccompanied alien children program. The organization provides residential shelter and services for unaccompanied alien children in compliance with respective state residential care licensing requirements. The program is federally funded by the office of refugee resettlement.
