How to Find Adoptive Parents in Iowa [3 Steps]
No two adoptions look the same. That’s because each one is as unique as the people involved, and your experience with us is shaped by the choices you make as a prospective birth mother.
But there are some commonalities with any given adoption. Here are three steps that show what the journey of looking for someone to adopt your baby in Iowa can look like:
Step 1: Create Your Adoption Plan
The adoption plan details everything about your adoption from start to finish, from your preferences and goals to the type of adoptive family you want for your baby to how you want the hospital stay to play out.
The adoption plan is the roadmap to make sure your adoption plays out exactly how you want it to.
Step 2: Choosing an Adoptive Family for Your Baby through Online Profiles
This is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make when pursuing adoption. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to finding adoptive parents for your baby; it comes down to what you have in mind as the ideal family for your baby and how we can help you find the perfect fit.
Working with us means knowing that all of the adoptive families that you see are fully committed to adoption and have completed a home study and various background checks to be ready to adopt.
One of the many ways we set ourselves apart from other agencies is with our adoptive family video profiles. You’ll be able to look at the adoptive family profiles we have and our adoptive family profiles go even more in-depth.
These video profiles highlight hopeful adoptive families:
-
Personalities
-
Interests
-
Home environment
-
Traditions
-
Excitement to become parents
Step 3: Build a Lifelong Relationship with the Family Through Open Adoption
Most adoptions today have some degree of openness. We understand the peace of mind that knowing how your child is doing can bring you, and how important it is for a child to have the chance to know their adoption story. We require the adoptive families we work with to be open to considering some level of open adoption.
Open adoption allows you to stay connected with your baby and the adoptive family after placement is complete. That connection can look like:
-
Texts
-
Calls
-
FaceTime/Zoom
-
Emails
-
Pictures
-
And even in-person visits
The level of contact is ultimately up to you and what you are comfortable with.
“They want her to have a relationship, not only with me, but with her brother. They want her to know where she came from; they want her to know that she is loved from all sides of the family." said Alanna, a birth mother.
Adoption doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship with your child. It’s a chance for a new beginning for both of you. Adoption can be tough for any number of reasons and you might feel a variety of emotions in the days, weeks or even years after placement. Knowing your child is loved and happy can make coping with these emotions easier.
We can help you address and work through this with our free, 24/7 counseling that talks about the emotions of adoption that you may feel are similar to the seven stages of grief.
