ur office can assist you (at no cost to you for our help) not only in locating adoptive parents for the baby you are carrying and creating an adoption plan, but also in putting your adoption plan into action. Before you select an adoptive family, you can find out about a number of adoptive families. You can speak with them by telephone, communicate with them by e-mail or by snail mail, and even meet them in person before you make a choice of the parents you want to adopt your baby. Once you have selected the adoptive family that meets your needs, you can get to know them as much or as little as you desire.

ould you like to have the adoptive parents go to the doctor with you? Would you want them to go to Lamaze classes with you? Would you like the adoptive parents to be present at the hospital when you give birth? Do you want them to send you photos and letters after the baby is born and each year thereafter or more often than that? Would you like to spend time with the adoptive family and the child as the child grows up? What are your dreams for your baby? Will the adoptive family you select help make those dreams come true? The choice of adoptive parents and the conditions that you believe are most important before you can commit to an adoption plan are yours!

f you are interested in receiving more information, we can forward our office brochure, newsletter and related information for you to read and consider. As you will realize when you read these materials, independent adoptions are very different from the adoptions that used to take place years ago--now birth parents' feelings and rights are, as they should be, of major concern and significance. I know and appreciate the importance of birth parent rights and feelings in the adoption process because my wife and I are adoptive parents ourselves. We know how important and how right it is to care about and to genuinely meet the needs of birth parents in the adoption process.

ur office can provide you with letters from prospective adoptive families (both married couples and single parents) in addition to those families whose names and profiles are found on this web site. But before we do that, we would like to speak with you about your adoption plan and your choices so that we can be certain that the adoptive families we present to you are what you are looking for and meet your needs. At the same time, we can discuss and answer all of your questions about the adoption process and explain further how we can be of service to you.
