STEP 2: Get Started

After we review your adoption application, one of our adoption coordinators will be in touch to provide all of the information you will need to take the next steps. Our adoption specialists are kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about adoption, and they are always happy to answer any questions you have as you navigate your adoption journey.

STEP 3: Sent Your Adoptive Family Profile

Next, as part of our exclusive marketing and advertising services, we will use your photos and words to create a custom adoptive family profile for you. Your profile is how we present you to expectant mothers. Your profile should be unique and paint a picture of your lifestyle, home, and family. Be genuine, be passionate, and most of all, be you.

Step 4: Complete the Adoption Home Study

All adoptive families are required to complete an adoption home study. The home study determines whether adoptive families are emotionally, physically, and financially ready to adopt a baby. This process can take anywhere from two to six days, so if you haven’t yet initiated this process, now is a good time to do so. We can provide you with local home study agency referrals if needed.

STEP 5: Get Chosen by an Expectant Mother

We believe the expectant mother must be involved in choosing the adoptive family for her baby. Not only does it keep her in control of her adoption plan, but it also makes for healthier, stronger connections. We present each expectant mother with an assortment of adoptive family profiles that align with what she is looking for in her adoption and allow her to choose a family. When an expectant mother selects your profile, your adoption coordinator will contact you to establish the adoption process. That process typically starts with a phone call, text, or email.

STEP 6: Baby is Born

When the expectant mother goes into labor, We will inform you about the baby so that you will be aware of her present condition. The birth and post-birth experience is different for every adoption and depends heavily on the preferences of the birth parents and adoptive parents. Some birthmothers want to see and hold their baby and meet the adoptive family while others don’t want to do either. Some birthparents allow the adoptive parents in the delivery room while the baby is born, and some adoptive families don’t even arrive at the hospital until after the baby is born.

STEP 7: Bring Your Baby Home

The legal procedures required to finalize an adoption differ drastically from state to state. Some states have revocation periods and some don’t. Some adoptions are final after a few days and some aren’t final until months later. In any case, If the baby was not born in your home state, you will need to wait for us to bring the baby to you or you will need to remain in the baby’s birth state until the proper paperwork is processed. This usually takes about 7–10 days. After that point, you can travel home with your new baby. Moving forward, you’ll be expected to honor the post-placement agreement you made with your baby’s birth mother.
