Adoption Process

Steps Taken by Birth Parents

Birth parents voluntarily place their child for adoption, usually at birth.

They personally select the adoptive parents after reviewing their profile.

Birth parents choose the customized adoption plan that suits them.

Steps Taken by Adoptive Parents

Adoptive parents can implement filters regarding the birth parents and baby such as gender preference, health, and ethnicity .

Adoptive parent profiles should include lifestyle, career, interests, family, friends, and hobbies.

Adoptive parent profiles are only presented to birth parents who fit your filters.

Steps Taken After the Family is Selected

Once a birth parent selects an adoptive family, the case worker will contact the family and give them all the information.

If adoptive parents want to pursue the adoption plan, the case worker will make arrangements like doctor’s appointment, obtaining updated prenatal records and obtaining counseling for the birth couple.

Steps After the Finalization of the Adoption

Once the adoption is finalized, the laws of all fifty states recognize the adoptive family as the parents of the child.

A new birth certificate is issued that lists the adoptive parent(s) name(s) as the parent(s) of the minor.

It also identifies the child by the name given by the adoptive parent(s).
