As a Social worker specializing in adoption, you facilitate the adoption process for both the family that is adopting and the child who is legally separated from their biological parents. You may work with government organizations or adoption agencies to place orphaned children in adoptive homes. As a Social Worker, you may have the opportunity to specialize in foreign or domestic adoptions. If adoptions are too emotional for you to be a part of then don't interview for the job. Let the interviewer know your past experience with adoptions, that you don't let your emotions get the best of you and that you treat it as you would any of your cases.

"I am comfortable working with adoptions, I've had the opportunity to spend the last 2 years supporting an adoption agency. I find the position to be very challenging yet rewarding."
