A Step-by-Step Guide to Find an adoptive parent for my Baby
Choosing to place your baby for Adoption is a big decision, and finding the right adoptive parents can feel overwhelming. This simple guide will help you navigate the process, making finding a loving family for your child easier.
Decide What Kind of Adoption You Want
Before you start looking for adoptive parents, think about the type of Adoption you want:
- Open Adoption involves contacting the adoptive family and building a relationship with them. You’ll exchange information and communicate on an ongoing basis.
- Semi-Open Adoption: You receive updates and photos through the adoption agency, but your personal information remains private.
- Closed Adoption: No contact between you and the adoptive family after the Adoption is finalized.
Think About What’s Important to You
Consider what you want for your child’s future. Here are some things to think about:
- Do you prefer a single parent, a couple, or a family with other children?
- Is it important that the family shares your religion or cultural background?
- Do you want the family to live close by?
- What kind of lifestyle do you want your child to have—active, artistic, academic?
Work with an Adoption Professional
An adoption professional can help you find families that match your preferences. They will provide you with profiles of families who are ready to adopt and will support you throughout the adoption process.
Review Adoptive Family Profiles
You’ll receive profile books or online profiles of families interested in adopting. These profiles include photos and details about their lives, values, and why they want to adopt. Review them and involve close friends or family if you’d like.
Connect with Families You’re Interested In
Once you’ve found families that seem like a good fit, you can set up a call or video chat to get to know them better. Ask important questions, like how they plan to raise your child or their family life.
Make Your Decision
After talking with the families, decide which feels suitable for you and your baby. Your adoption professional, like parentfinder.com, will help you finalize the match. Remember, you can change your mind any time before the adoption is complete.
Build a Relationship with the Adoptive Family
If you choose an open or semi-open adoption, you can start building a relationship with the adoptive family. This can include phone calls, emails, or even meeting in person. You can decide how much contact you want during your pregnancy and after the Adoption.
