How Do I Find a Family for My Baby in Pennsylvania?

You decide who will raise your child.

Choosing an adoptive family who will raise your child can feel overwhelming and scary. At Heart to Heart Adoptions, we’ll be available to help every step when you ask, “How do I find a family for my baby in Pennsylvania?”

Decide What Matters Most When Picking a Family

Usually, these are the things which you will probably care about as you find a family for your baby in Pennsylvania: 

  • Your Baby’s Safety and Happiness: With a very comprehensive, meticulous, exhaustive, and detailed home study, we carefully check every family to make sure they are good, kind people. We look at their legal background, money situation, and mental health. Your baby’s well-being is our top priority.
  • Type of Adoption: You decide what kind of relationship you will have after the adoption. Do you want:
    • An open adoption where you can get updates and maybe visit
    • A closed adoption with little to no contact
    • A middle ground with some communication

What Matters Most When Picking a Family

  • What Matters Most to You About the Family You’re Choosing for Your Baby?

    Every birth mother has her own hopes and wishes for her child. Here are some things to think about as you look for the right family.

    • Family Structure: Think about the type of family you picture for your baby. You may want a married couple, a single parent, or a same-sex couple. You can also choose whether you want your child to have siblings or to be the only child in the home.
    • Location: Where your child grows up matters. Some birth mothers want their baby to stay close by. Others feel good about their child growing up in a different state, a big city, or a place with lots of opportunities.
    • Cultural Awareness: You know your child’s background better than anyone. Look for a family that respects different cultures, understands your child’s heritage, and will help your child feel proud of who they are.
    • Religion: If faith is important to you, it’s okay to ask questions. Find out what the family believes, how they plan to raise your child spiritually, and what kind of religious experiences your child might have growing up.

You Decide the Level of Contact

After placement, you can choose the kind of relationship you want with your baby’s family:

  • Letters, emails, or photos
  • Phone calls or occasional visits
  • No contact if that feels right

You Are Never Alone
