Lutheran Social Services (LSS) of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan is the social ministry arm of over 800 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregations in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Our mission is "Motivated by the compassion of Christ, we help people improve the quality of their lives."
As the largest not-for-profit licensed child-placing agency in the State of Wisconsin, LSS has been finding forever families for children of all ages, faiths and backgrounds for more than 60 years. Over that time, adoptive homes have been found for well over 100,000 children.
The primary focus of the LSS adoption program is finding stable, loving homes for children from the United States and many other countries. Each year, through its network of eight adoption offices throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, LSS helps over 800 children per year find permanent homes and families.
As a non-profit agency, LSS relies on the generous support of churches, corporations, foundations and thousands of individuals to continue our mission.
