About Us 
LAN: A Lutheran Adoption and Foster Care Alliance is a national collaboration of 29 social ministry organizations that are active in both international and domestic adoptions and who are members of Lutheran Services in America (LSA). We have both local or “direct service” agencies and international placement agencies within the network.  LAN members have a shared reputation for integrity and ethical practices in adoption, as well as extensive history. Many of our agencies have been in business for over 100 years.
