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
