What to Expect From Our Adoption Services?
Step 1: Talk to Someone Who Understands
The first step of the adoption process is to reach out to us. When you contact us, we connect you with a dedicated adoption caseworker.
Talking to us doesn’t obligate you to choose adoption for your baby. We offer a confidential and judgment-free space for you to feel supported and informed so you can make the best decision for your baby.
Step 2: Create Your Adoption Plan
Next, the adoption caseworker will help you create your customized adoption plan. This plan gives you control and helps shape your baby’s future.
You can decide to choose the type of adoption:
- Open adoption – allowing ongoing contact
- Semi-open adoption – limited ongoing contact
- Closed adoption – Fully private and confidential
Step 3: Choosing an Adoptive Family
When you decide to move forward, you will be able to review a list of adoptive families to choose from. One of our adoption services is to show you profiles of families who are pre-approved and ready to adopt.
You can take your time reviewing them. If you want, you can also choose to meet the family before making your decision. If you prefer not to, it is completely alright. We will help you find a family that is best suited to you and your baby.
Step 4: Prepare for Delivery and Placement
As you near your delivery date, another part of our adoption services is to help you create a hospital plan. The plan will outline your specific needs regarding delivery and time spent with your baby in the hospital.
Once the baby is born, your support services won’t end. Your caseworker will be there for you whenever you need her. If needed, you may qualify for financial assistance for daily needs, housing, and medical care, which will continue up to six weeks after delivery as well.
Step 5: Ongoing Support After Placement
Our adoption services will provide resources for counseling and support. You will receive continued emotional care for as long as needed.
