In Pennsylvania, Pressley Ridge is a state-approved, licensed adoption program.
Program Overview
Pressley Ridge is a state-approved, licensed adoption program.
As a Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN) affiliate, the goal of our adoption program is to offer multiple services to meet the permanency needs of children and families while working one-on-one to build and maintain strong relationships.
Every adoption is different and is not just a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship. Often times, the road to a stable, fulfilling relationship is not always smooth.
That’s why Pressley Ridge offers post-adoption services to help with services designed to make the family stronger – through the adoption process and beyond.
