WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU START

THE OVERALL PROCESS

 

Congratulations on considering adoption as a way to start or grow your family. Both domestically and internationally, there are millions of children who are looking for a home with their ‘forever family.’ Whether you are turning to adoption because of infertility issues, or simply because of a desire to provide for children who are parentless rather than creating your own, deciding to adopt is a lifelong, fulfilling, and challenging commitment - just as having a biological child would be.

 

It’s natural to feel excitement and joy when you imagine the child that you will bring into your family through adoption. Just as parents who are waiting nine months for a pregnancy to come to fruition, prospective adoptive parents will have many months of contemplating, worrying, and dreaming about their precious future child. But because adopting a child can often be unpredictable in the exact time that it takes, it’s important that you acquaint yourself with the adoption process, the possible pitfalls, and other challenges that you might face along the way.

 

For many adoptive couples or singles, the dream of the end result is what will keep them motivated through the process – which is how it should be. But if they are not prepared for the ways in which adoption works, those dreams could become tainted with frustration and disappointment. None of the information here should dissuade you from pursuing your goal of adoption. But it should help to inform you so that you can maintain the positive attitude and forward motion that will eventually bring you the child or children that are right for you and your family.

 

ADOPTION OPTIONS

 

The options in adoption can seem overwhelming at first. But by understanding a few significant factors, you can limit the options down to the program or programs that make the most sense for your personal situation, your preferences, and your family.

First, you should become familiar with the three main types of adoption options. In every state in the United States, there are children who are available for adoption through the foster care system. Or, you could pursue a domestic infant adoption, a situation in which a birthmother (and often the birthfather) has decided to make an adoption plan for their child. They understand that an adoption plan means that they will be giving up their rights to parent the child, and that they will be entrusting that role to another person or couple. The birthparents will normally approach a lawyer or adoption agent in order to get help finding the right family for their child, and the parties can remain anonymous or they can meet and remain in contact. Another popular option is international adoption, where you work with an agency to adopt a child from one of dozens of foreign countries. Each of these choices has advantages and disadvantages that will be discussed in depth in this book.

 

THE TIME FRAME INVOLVED

 

Next, each adoption option has a different time frame involved. The length of time an adoption takes will vary depending on the type of adoption that you choose, the type of child that you are hoping to adopt, the laws in your state (and the state where the child was born, if different), and the laws of the foreign country if you choose international adoption. The general rule of thumb on adoptions is that the younger the child that you are requesting, the longer you can expect to wait. By asking the right questions, which you will learn here, you will get an accurate picture of the length of time your adoption will take. The best advice is to plan for the shortest estimate, but don’t be surprised if your adoption runs towards the longer estimate.
