Are ready to grow your family?
When an openly gay Nashville man tried to find an adoption agency to help him in his quest to adopt a child, JFS was the only agency to say “YES.”
When a state judge searched for an agency to conduct the first home study for a second-parent adoption, JFS was the only agency to say “YES.”
JFS was awarded the Human Rights Campaign Equality Award for the adoption and advocacy work that we do with the LGBTQ+ community.
JFS became the first child welfare agency in Tennessee to be certified by the Human Rights Campagin as an “All Children’s All Families Agency.”
Are ready to grow your family?
Yes! While some of our other programs are available to only those of the Jewish faith, our Nashville adoption services are available to the entire community.
You can send a request here, or call us at (615) 356-4234.
All communications with JFS are confidential and all employees must sign confidentiality agreements. Written records are kept in locked files. Although our offices are located within the Gordon Jewish Community Center, the entrance to our offices are in the back of the building with a private entrance and fully confidential.
Adoption is a fee for service program. Contact us for more details.
Jewish Family Service believes that families can be comprised of many different make ups because love knows no bounds. JFS is proud to offer services to anyone compelled to adoption, no matter their religious affiliation, race, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
