SINGAPORE - Lutheran Community Care Services (LCCS) set up an adoption agency in 2019 so that it could give a satisfactory answer to parents asking where they could go to adopt a child.
Previously, the charity could only caution them to be wary of questionable practices at some commercial agencies, but with Stepping-Stones, it can now offer adoptive parents an alternative that "raises the standards" of practice.
