Choosing your
BABY'S PARENTS
Hey Girl! You might be wondering, “How do I go about choosing the best parents to adopt my baby?” Your worries are over because I’m here to help!

Can I really trust the adoptive family with my baby?
The answer is yes! Here's why...
1
Homestudy Process
This is a deep dive into the family's backgrounds and lives. If something is wrong with someone’s marriage, singleness, finances, emotional stability, or parenting style, it will be discovered during this process.
2
Financial Stability
Families must provide proof of financial stability to the adoption agency. We make sure they can afford to raise a child.
3
Interviews
The family is interviewed to ensure they're ready for parenting, and that their home is safe, full of love, and provides a stable place for a child to grow, learn, and do well.
4
Background Checked
Families must complete and pass extensive local and federal criminal background checks before being approved to adopt.
5
Medical and Emotional Evaluations
Let's be real! Parenting can be challenging. We make sure the family is physically and emotionally healthy enough to raise a child.
6
Safety Audit
We make sure the entire home is 100% baby-safe. No trip hazards, non-working fire alarms, or brown tap water allowed!

References
We request non-relative references from adopting parents because we're excited to get a panoramic view of their awesomeness! 😊🌟
Prepare Your Mind To Evaluate Family Profiles
1
Keep An Open Mind
Like way open!
Not every family will have the same lifestyle as yours, or even look like you. Sometimes a mom ends up loving and choosing a family she least expected.
2
Think About What Qualities Matter To You The Most
Who seems the most authentic? What emotions do you feel?
Do they have other kids?
Do those kids seem happy?
If they do not have kids, are they realistic about parenting?
Any religious affiliations?
Vacation and travel habits?
Are they married or single? Does that matter to you?
Tip: Trust your instincts! Ask yourself which family feels genuine and will likely honor your request for an open or closed adoption.
3
Identify your perfectly imperfect family
A perfect fit is not about meeting everything 100%. It’s not realistic to expect all your criteria to exist within one family. Instead, if you can find a family that meets most of your important preferences, you’ve won!
Top 10 questions to ask yourself
when evaluating the profiles
.webp)
1
Home sweet home:
Do you prefer the city or the countryside for your child's upbringing? Think about the pace of life – bustling or calm?
2
Core beliefs:
What do they value, and is it important that their values match yours? Are they likely to let your child chase their dreams? Not all boys code and not all girls cook.
3
Finances:
Money doesn’t solve all problems, but it could solve my problems. Kidding aside, consider their financial situation? Can they provide for your child's needs both now and in the future?
4
Relationship Status:
Are they married or single? Do they have other kids? Think about their relationship with their partner, as it will shape your child. Reflect on the relationships you witnessed growing up.
5
Education:
What's their education? Do they have a college degree? Are you hoping your child goes to college? Kids of college-educated parents are more likely to attend. If they didn't attend college, will they still support your child's college plans?
6
Extra-curricular:
Will it be sports, music, or painting? What are their hobbies and interests? How might your child be positively influenced by growing up in this environment?
7
Support system:
Sometimes even the best parents need a break! Does this family have a strong support system when they need to run errands or want time alone? It takes a village is more than just a famous proverb. It’s necessary for healthy parenting and families.
8
Supporting Cast:
Think about aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends you see in the profile photos. They will likely be part of your child’s life too. Do they seem to be joyful and engaged?
9
Location, location, location:
Unless you have an electric car, start saving on gas. With an open adoption, the closer they live the more visits you can have, right? Well, not quite. Things change as life goes on. What if the family moves far away from you? Now what? While you may consider location near you as being important, we want you to think more openly. Understand that the family’s ability and willingness to travel to you for visits is more important than how close they live in relation to you.
10
Culture:
Are you open to choosing a family from a different ethnic background? If so, ask the agency if the family is dedicated to teaching your child about their heritage in a meaningful way? Do they live in an ethnically diverse community? If not, would they consider moving to a more diverse neighborhood if it benefits your child? Parenthood often means making sacrifices. Even when it means relocating because it’s the best choice for your child's well-being.
