Choosing a Family to Adopt My Baby
Choosing an adoptive family can be one of the most rewarding parts of your adoption plan!
When working with Adoption Choices of Arizona, you will be given several family profiles to review. Every family who works with Adoption Choices to adopt is carefully screened and fully background checked.
In a semi-open or open adoption, the birth mother must consider many variables as she thinks about the type of family that she desires to care for her child. The birth mother may find that she has preferences regarding particular characteristics in potential adoptive parents. Such characteristics may include preferences for particular:
- Ethnic or cultural backgrounds
- Religious backgrounds
- Dynamic of the family (such as single person family or same-sex family)
- Values
- Parenting styles
- Location of family
- Lifestyles
- Discipline methods
Birth mothers may also have preferences regarding:
- Whether extended family is available to help raise the child
- Whether the adoptive parents have other children already
- Whether the adoptive parents plan to tell the child he/she is adopted
- (In an open adoption) how much contact will occur between birth and adoptive parents and how broadly that contact may occur (and/or will it be okay if birth-grandparents see the adopted child?)
- Whether the adoptive parents or birth mother will name the child
- How involved the adoptive parents will be in the pregnancy and birth
