How to Make Your Online Adoption Profile Stand Out to Birth Mothers
An adoption profile is the first medium of interaction an adoptive parent can have with the birth mother. It gives a glimpse into the life as a potential parent and answers many questions that a birth mother may have, from their family, home, lifestyle, to their hopes for the child.
An online adoption profile can help expectant mothers get answers to these questions. It does not need to be fancy, but it’s honest to the mother. ParentFinder helps prospective parents in building an online profile book that can feel real, warm, and honest.
Tips for Creating Compelling Online Adoption Profiles
Start With Real Photos
A photo speaks more than words. Photos are often one of the first things people notice. Use clear photos that show your family as you are. You can share pictures of family gathering, trips, pets, holidays, hobbies, or just a simple day at home. These photos can help a birth mother see what your family life is like.
Tell Your Family Story
Your story can give a birth mother deeper insight into your life. Talk about who you are and what you enjoy. Share how you spend time together. You can also talk about your hopes for your family. Keep the words simple. You do not need big or fancy words. A true story can be much more meaningful.
Share What You Love
A birth mother may want to know the kind of family their child will go into. Your profile books are a medium for interacting with expectant parents and introducing them to your hobbies, lifestyle, and way of life. You may talk about what you enjoy doing, your hobbies, if you have any pets, your favorite holiday destinations, and more in a gist.
Talk About Your Home
A birth mother may want to picture where her child could grow up. You can share details about your home, school area, family, and community. You can also explain what a normal day may look like for your family. This gives her a better idea of your life.
Why You Hope to Adopt
Your adoption profile should also explain why you hope to adopt. You can talk about the kind of home you want to give a child. If you are open to contact with the birth mother after placement, share that too.
