How Does the Adoption Process Work?
Do the Preliminary Paperwork
Once you decide to place your child for adoption, finish the preliminary paperwork and prepare for the adoption process.
Choose a Family
If you decide to proceed with an adoption, you can choose the adoptive family and the type of adoption you want – open, closed, or semi-open. Your counselor can help you choose the best plan for you.
Interview the Family
As a mother, you should interview the family before placing your baby for adoption. Talk to them before finalizing the adoption to get peace of mind.
Do the Hospital Plan
To proceed with the adoption process, you must make a hospital plan. This plan lets a mother determine how she wants to take charge of the placement.
Give Birth
According to the hospital plan, you can hold your baby and spend time with them before signing the final documents.
Complete the Placement Process
After the baby is born, you have to wait 48 hours or after you are discharged to sign your consent to the adoption. The consent to the adoption is the paperwork you will sign to agree to terminate your parental rights to the child.
Receive Updates and Pictures post-placement
Get regular updates on your child and how they are doing in the new house with the new family through videos, pictures, and emails based on your adoption plan.
