Liliput is our agency for our current foster daughter that we will be adopting. They have been helpful, supportive, and provide great guidance throughout this long and crazy process. We would be lost without their knowledge and experience. Thank you Liliput!
Lilliput has always been quick to respond. We are hoping to adopt through them. Love their open house! They made it easy to get to know in person the workers who help pair up children with families. Foster/adopt isn't always an easy process, but when you have good communication like Lilliput, it makes things a lot less stressful.
Lilliput helped me adopt my 4 kids! Very professional and was always available to help

I adopted 4 kids with the support of Lilliput Children Services! What I loved is both adoptions (a single and then a sibling set of 3) we had the same Social worker which was easier for my bio son and adopted son! They provided support during the entire adoption process and support as needed after! They have a dad's support group. They have many events that are entire family can enjoy! They are professional and care about their families!
Lilliput is a progressive organization dedicated to finding and making permanent connections for foster youth. In addition, the organization support the families who have made the committment to providing a loving, stable, life-long home for children.
Lilliput's mission focus motiviates me to give of my time and resources to join them in ensuring that every kid has the opportunity to be part of a safe, nurturing, lifelong family.
Giving a child a permanent, real home before they age out of foster care, is an incredible gift that brings comfort, heals wounds, lowers crime rates, increase graduations, and improves our society. I know firsthand about the quality of the team that runs Lilliput. They are the best in class...really. What they do for our state and local communities is incredible.
When I realized the need to become a guardian of my grandson, it was overwhelming. Lilliput was at every hearing and provided support every step of the way. When I began attending support meetings, it was a wonderful thing to be put in contact with other families that are going through similar circumstances. The information through support group meeting speakers and newsletters have helped tremendously as well. There have been so many benefits, from counseling to picnics and outings with the other families to offers of respite time and retreats. It has been a true blessing and I'm so grateful to have found Lilliput.
We are in the process of foster-adopting a child with the agency. The staff are very helpful and providing us with great service.
Lilliput is wonderful! When my grandchildren were removed from their home and CPS would not even let me know anything about them, Lilliput knew just what to say to get the ball rolling and to get the children back with family. They care and some of them have even been in the same predicament so they truly understand what we are going through. I have needed somebody to talk to about my problems and there is always somebody there to listen. I am so grateful for this wonderful organization. I truly believe that they saved me thousands in lawyer fees.
Over 4 years, my wife and I adopted 3 biological sisters with the help of Lilliput. They were there for us with training and support through the whole process. The staff was helpful and supportive through the adoption process. With adoption, life can change quickly and there can be a lot of uncertainties (we added a 6 month old and 7 day old to our family in the span of 6 months; we also had a 4 year old biological son). Until the adoption is finalized, one can feel helpless to the process. Lilliput was there to provide support and answer our questions. We also meet other families through Lilliput that we could share things with. Now I am confident that they will continue to be there if we ever need their support. Our lives have been changed and the lives of our girls, and we continue to support Lilliput through donations and fundraisers.
When we couldn't have children biologically. It was tough to swallow. But, we didn't give up hope because if adoption was the way GOD had planned for us, then in time we would understand why.
In 2007 we walked into Lilliput with hopes of starting our family. We were nervous and scared, probably because of the unknown. However, Lilliput was so understanding and kind to us we knew, through them, this was the way our children would to come to us and complete our family.
Today, we have three beautiful children we adoption from Lilliput, when they were infants. Now, they are six, four and two years old. We couldn't imagine our lives without these three precious souls. They were meant to be ours. Now we understand why GOD brought them to us. They needed us as much as we needed them. They needed a forever home and we wanted a forever family. It all makes sense now.
Thank you Lilliput for being there when we needed you and making all our lives fulfilled and complete. We own it all to you! Keep up the good work. I can't think of any thing more important then building families.
I received guardianship if my nieces two years ago. Lilliput was and is a great resource for kinship families. We have appreciated their Christmas tou shop, respite care and help with extra curricular activities. They are a wonderful organization ad I hope that someday I'll be able to give back to them and help other families in situations like mine.
I wrote a previous review, but I feel the need to add more...... when we get our wonderful children, we strive to make them feel validated. Every day we wake up thinking , what can we do to improve their life and add something special to it. Lilliput has helped with this. We've been to the swim party, Christmas parties, we got to pick out a piece of pottery to paint with the new family ( we treasure that), classes that address our problems and what to do about them, coffee and chats that we can share our concerns, summer opportunities. There is so many more things I can think of but I would be here all day. What wonderful people they are. The services have made my children feel like the special people they are. I just want to say thank you for all you do Lilliput................
Lilliput helped bring together my small family of six over a four year period. Their help and support has allowed our family to grow and survive the challenging times. They have knowledgeable staff and resources that help beyond the first years of adoption.
