How Do I Find a Family for My Baby in Idaho?
You Are in Charge: Picking the Right Family for Your Baby
At Heart to Heart Adoptions, we understand that choosing an adoptive family can feel scary and overwhelming. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
What Matters Most When Picking a Family
Here are the most important things to think about, in order of importance:
- Your Baby’s Safety and Happiness: 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: Decide how much contact you want 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
You Get to Decide
What Matters Most When Picking a Family
- Family Structure: Think about the type of family you want:
- A married couple
- A single parent
- A same-sex couple
- A family with or without other children
- Location: Consider where you want your child to grow up:
- Close to you
- In a big city
- In a different state
- Somewhere with lots of opportunities
- Cultural Awareness: Choose a family that:
- Understands and respects different cultures
- Can support your child’s cultural background
- Will help your child feel proud of who they are
- Religion: If this matters to you, ask about:
- The family’s religious beliefs
- How they plan to raise your child spiritually
- What kind of religious experiences your child might have
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
