Finding the Right Adoptive Family
We’ll help you choose the perfect family — vetted, supported, and ready to meet your preferences.
We’ll Help You Choose the Perfect Family
At Heart to Heart Adoptions, we know that you may have grave concerns about choosing the right adoptive family or knowing where to find the right adoptive family.
We are very particular about the families we represent in our adoption agency. We make sure they have the best intentions and the best backgrounds. They are vetted legally, financially, and mentally.
When you are ready to look at families, we ask that you give us a list of your preferences. From those preferences, we will find families. Watch the video below for an explanation of how Darla finds you the perfect family.
What to Consider When Choosing an Adoptive Family
Choosing an adoptive family is a deeply personal decision. Here are some important factors to keep in mind while making your choice:
Family Structure
Think about whether you prefer a heterosexual couple, a same-sex couple, or a single parent. You can also consider if the family already has children.
Location
Do you want the family to live nearby, or are you open to families from other states or countries?
Adoption Type
Do you want an open adoption where you can stay in touch with your child or a closed adoption with limited contact?
Lifestyle
What kind of environment do you envision for your child? Do you want an urban lifestyle? Are you more interested in your child seeing the diversity of a city?
Religion
If having a specific religious upbringing is important to you, ask how the family plans to incorporate religion into your child’s life. What kind of spiritual exposure would you like?
Post-Placement Contact
Think about whether you would like to receive updates, pictures, or even have visits with your child after the adoption.
Cultural Awareness
Consider if the family is aware of and sensitive to different cultures, which can be important if you’re considering a transracial adoption.
Moving Forward: We will be here to talk to you about your preferences. Recognize that you might speak with more than one family before deciding on one that fits you.
