Questions About Adoption
The adoption process can seem daunting. You don’t have to go through it alone. We are here to walk you through every step of the way.
Adoption is the legal placement of a child with people who will raise the child as their own.
Yes…you make a selection of the adoptive parents that you feel is right for your baby from our waiting families and profiles. Then you will be able to talk to them of the phone and even meet them if that is your desire!
In cases of need, financial assistance is available for health care costs. Help for costs related to adoption may be discussed with your adoption agency.
Yes and normally you will receive photos and updates from the family through our agency on an ongoing basis.
If you choose the adoption option, then you will receive financial support from your chosen adoptive family. According to the rules in Florida, through our agency they will provide food, housing, utilities, cell phone, transportation to medicals and other necessary expenses, so that you can concentrate on being healthy and delivering your baby.
Yes, the child becomes permanently and legally part of the adoptive family with full rights to inheritance and a lifetime family relationship.
No. Putting the child’s welfare first is a true act of love. This is hard love–hard to decide–hard to do–truly caring.
Of course they are. You may think about the child you placed for a long time. But the hope for that child’s happiness, and the sure start in life you helped to give the child, can be a source of strength to you.
Sometimes a birth parent just isn’t ready or able to parent a child. Children need to be cared for day in and day out, year after year. They need a stable family. Adoptive parents may be better able than birth parents to provide a home.
Some may. There are different attitudes about adoption in our society. Perhaps no one in your family has ever “given up their own flesh and blood” before. It takes strength and courage to do what you believe to be right. Selecting adoption may be the most loving option you can choose. It is your decision.
Yes! Today there are thousands of couples who are unable to have children. They dearly desire to become adoptive parents and are ready to love and raise a child. Many are already waiting. They have been registered and approved by adoptive agencies. In most cases, you have the option to be involved in selecting those parents for your child. We have thoroughly investigated these families and had a complete background check performed on them to ensure that they have no criminal records and are safe, healthy matches for your child.
Far from it. Adoption is a difficult decision to make. It might be easier to say, “It’s my baby, and no one is going to tell me what to do.” But you have to think about yourself, and other people who are close to you. And you have to think about the child’s future.
