Choosing the Type of Adoption

When working with adoption agencies, birthmothers will have the option of choosing the specific type of adoption that works best for them. Some birthmothers would prefer to place their child with a new family but still maintain some communication and connection with them. Others would prefer to have no contact and a greater level of privacy throughout the process and after the adoption takes place.

Here are the types of adoption:

Open Adoption

An open adoption makes it possible for you to maintain ongoing, regular contact with your child and their adoptive family. This choice will allow you to still be a part of their life as they grow up. Birthmothers and adoptive families can call, text, share photos and even set up in-person visits.

Semi-Open Adoption

A semi-open adoption allows some level of openness and connection between you, your child and their adoptive family. Instead of you contacting them directly, though, everything will take place through the adoption agency.

Closed Adoption

A closed adoption is the most private option available to birthmothers. With this arrangement, there will be no contact between you and the adoptive family once you place your child. You’ll maintain your privacy throughout the entire process.

How to Choose an Adoptive Family

One of the biggest moments for birthmothers when working with an adoption center is choosing an adoptive family. The family you select will have the biggest impact on your child’s upbringing, lifestyle and future opportunities.

Carefully go through your options, and don’t be nervous about letting the adoption agency know if you don’t feel a connection or are not comfortable with a matched family. Get to know each family so you can make the best, most informed decision for you and your child.

While selecting a family may seem overwhelming at first, it can also be exciting and fulfilling. Some things to consider include:

  • Do you care what type of work the adoptive parents do?
  • Would you like adoptive parents with post-graduate education?
  • Do you want to live close to the family?
  • Are you hoping one of the adoptive parents will stay at home with the baby?
  • Would you consider allowing a single parent to raise your child?
  • What kind of setting or environment do they live in?
  • Do factors like ethnicity or religion matter?
  • What is their method of discipline and parenting?

We have families who fit all these criteria. You can even find adoptive parents who look like your child if that’s important to you.
