Adoption FAQs

Years ago, closed adoption was the norm. That meant the birth parents knew little about the adoptive family and the adoptive family knew little about the birth family. Over time, we’ve all come to realize that closed adoption is rarely the best plan. Most birth moms now ask for a reasonable amount of information – not necessarily addresses and phone numbers, but an update once or twice a year through a neutral party. They are often also far more willing to share medical and family history. Each birth mother determines the level of openness they wish to have so that potential adoptive parents can decide in advance if this is the sort of arrangement they’d like.

As an agency, we are looking specifically for families that practice their Christian faith. As for expectant mothers, they are looking for families of almost every variety. First time parents, large families, city dwellers, rural residents…if God is speaking to you about adoption, He is probably speaking to an expectant mother about someone like you. Families of all races and ethnicities are encouraged to apply.
