Choosing the Adoptive Family

In fact, in most cases the birth mother has all the control in choosing her child’s adoptive family. You will be able to tell your adoption specialist what is most important to you when it comes to who will raise your child. For example, if you desire someone with deep local roots, a similar ethnic background to yourself, or a family that shares your lifestyle or religious beliefs, these are all things you can look for in an adoptive family.

Once you have found a family you like based on their profile, you’ll have the chance to meet with them. Often, speaking on the phone first and then meeting them in person. The choice of whether to move forward with them as your child’s adoptive family is all yours.

The Type of Adoption

There are three main types of adoption that you get to choose from. Consider, you can have the adoption type as a condition to going through with the adoption with a specific family. It is important that both you and the adoptive family agree to the terms on the type of adoption. You can choose an open adoption, semi-open, or closed adoption.

Adoption Choices of Missouri is an open adoption agency. This means you will choose the adoptive family, meet the adoptive family, and keep in touch with the family as well as your child as he/she grows. Open adoptions include phone calls, letters, exchanging pictures, and even in person visits.
