Regional Permanency Center and Post Adoption Services

G.A. Family Services Regional Permanency Center Program assists families who reside in Erie, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Erie, Wyoming or Niagara County and have opened their hearts and homes to expand their family through adoption or legal guardianship. Many children who have been adopted or living with a legal guardian have experienced trauma at various points in their lives. It is the mission of our program to ensure that these families not only remain together, but also thrive in the community with the availability of natural supports.
