Diakon Lutheran Social Ministries adoption and foster care programs transitioned into a new organization known as Diakon Child, Family and Community Ministries.

There is now a separate board of directors, one to focus on child and family services, and the other on post-acute long-time health care and retirement accomodations.

Programs in the new organization, in addition to the adoption service, include Diakon Family Life Services, Youth Services and Kathryn's Kloset. Visit www.diakon.org for more information.
