Welcome to Adoption Support and PreservationLIKE OUR TENNESSEE ASAP FACEBOOK PAGE facebook

The Adoption Support and Preservation Program (ASAP) was created to help adoptive parents succeed on every level by providing a state-wide, seamless system that supports children and families with pre and post adoption services that promote permanency and also help communities nurture adoptive families.

ASAP’s innovative program offers a continuum of services designed to support resource families through:

  • Adoption preparation training
  • Crisis intervention
  • Counseling
  • Support groups
  • Relief team development
  • Parenting education

These services are available to Tennessee families who have either made their intent to adopt known or who have already finalized adoptions through Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services. Since 2004, ASAP has served approximately 3,690 children.

Adoption Support and Preservation staff members are on call to assist families across the state of Tennessee. Families may contact the ASAP helpline at 888.848.ASAP to begin services and to learn more about the program. Referring professionals are encouraged to contact ASAP with any questions and may refer families for ASAP services by contacting ASAP at 888.848.ASAP.
