Birthmothers (and at times birthfathers) typically select a family to adopt her unborn child by reviewing profiles and consulting with our birthmother counselors. Once the child is born, the child leaves the hospital with the adoptive family. At other times, a family may adopt a waiting child on a website such as www.adoptuskids.org or an older child needing a family due to the birth family’s inability to care for a child.
Adoption Assistance families have the opportunity to adopt children referred by Adoption Assistance, attorneys, hospitals, out of state child placement agencies and private individuals. With the many ways Adoption Assistance clients can build their family, placements occur in a relatively timely manner.
