Each person has
their own expectations of what they desire for
their adoption plan. Because each person has
different needs, our services are flexible to
meet your specific situation. Our role in your
adoption plan is to support your decision by
offering quality services to meet your
expectations. The following is a list of
adoption plan options:
Selection of
the Adoptive Parents
You may select the adoptive parents for your
child from autobiographies that they create. The
autobiographies may include an introductory
letter, pictures of the prospective adoptive
couple, their home and family life, how they met
and why they have chosen adoption. Once you have
selected the adoptive parents, their
autobiography becomes yours to keep.
Meeting the
Adoptive Parents
You may also choose to meet the couple you have
selected, before or after the delivery. These
meetings are usually very informal and give you
a better opportunity to feel connected to the
people you have chosen as prospective parents.
Pictures and
Letters
Pictures and Letters are available to you
following the placement of your child with the
adoptive parents. These pictures and letters are
sent to you once a month for the first three
months, once at six months and then annually.
This information is provided to our agency from
the adoptive family and then passed on to you.
If you choose not to receive these pictures and
letters, they will be held in your file.
You may also
write a letter to the baby regarding your
adoption decision and/or send a gift with the
baby at placement as a beautiful keepsake for
the family. When the child gets older and starts
to ask questions about his/her birth, your
letter or gift becomes an important part of
their adoption story.
Placement
The baby will be placed directly from the
hospital with the adoptive parents once the
legal paperwork is completed.
