How to Find People Looking to Adopt Your Baby [3 Steps]

No two adoptions are alike, so your journey to find people looking to adopt your child will be a unique and life-changing experience.

Naturally, you may be nervous about finding hopeful parents that are perfectly suited to give your child the life you imagine for them. But, when you take these three necessary steps for a safe placement, you will know adoption was the best thing that could happen for you and your child.

Step 1: Work with an Adoption Professional to Find People Looking to Adopt

An adoption professional will be your greatest supporter throughout the entire adoption process.

When you contact an adoption professional and say, “I am looking for someone to adopt my baby,” they will help you create your adoption plan. This plan includes information like:

• Whether you want your child to have siblings
• Where you want your baby to grow up
• What kind of contact you want with the adoptive family before and after placement

All adoptive families that work with a reliable adoption agency are properly screened, so you know your child will be placed with a well-prepared family.

Working with a national adoption agency will open up your options to the number of hopeful families looking to adopt. This is because a national agency has a wider marketing reach than a local agency.

And, with professional support, you will also get access to their free services, which could include:

• Counseling and 24/7 emotional support
• Medical care for your pregnancy and delivery
• Financial assistance
• Legal representation
• And more

Adoption is 100% free because of the adoption financial assistance that you’ll receive when you work with a reputable adoption agency. You’re already giving your baby a life of love and opportunity. The last thing you should have to worry about is covering the costs.

Step 2: Identify and Choose the Right Couple Looking to Adopt a Baby

You may already have an image of the perfect adoptive family for your baby. Or, you might be going into the process with your options open.

When you complete your adoption plan, your adoption specialist will show you the profiles of waiting families that closely match your specific needs and preferences for your child.

These will typically come in the form of print and online profiles. But, some adoption agencies also offer video profiles.

Adoption profiles can help show you what hopeful families are like in their own environment. When you get to this step, you’ll be able to look at as many adoptive family profiles as you want until you find the right one. When you feel good about one or a few profiles, your adoption specialist will introduce you to the family.

If all goes well, then you’ll know that you’ve found your child’s adoptive parents.

Step 3: Get to Know the Adoptive Family

As soon as you’re ready, you can get in touch with the hopeful adoptive family. Initial communication may be over the phone or through a video conference with your adoption specialist mediating the call.

Once you begin developing a relationship with them, you can continue that bond through:

• Phone calls
• Emails
• Text messages
• Social media
• In-person meetings

It’s normal to feel unsure about the expectations when you talk to the adoptive family for the first time. But, rest assured, there have been many birth parents that have been in your shoes.

Sara, a birth mother, wants other birth parents to know that finding the right family is always possible.

“After meeting [the adoptive family], I didn’t have any doubt in my mind about the adoption,” Sara said. “I knew that [my child] was going to have opportunities that I wouldn’t be able to give him — stability of having two parents. I was very comfortable with my choice and I knew I had made the right one.”

When you first want to find people looking to adopt, you may be overwhelmed or stressed. But, when you have reliable help by your side to help you along the way, you can find the perfect adoptive family for your child.

“We went from being complete strangers to now them just being part of our family and us getting together in the summers and hanging out with our kids,” Megan, a birth mother, said. “They really are just part of our family now.”
