Birthmothers, you have the power to choose the family you want.

For some birth families, having an adoptive family in a specific location is essential. If that is the case, let us know immediately, and we will screen our potential adoptive families for locations.

If you are concerned about religion, let us know.

Some birth mothers want their child to grow up with a sibling. Other birth families would like the child they place to be an only child at least for a while.

You have the right to decide these things. Don’t be ashamed of your desires.

One especially important thing to consider if you are planning for open adoption is the relationship you want to have with the adoptive family. We have adoptive families and birth families who only communicate a couple of times a year. The other extreme is adoptive families and birth families who vacation together. You will need to decide what you want for your future. Relationships of any kind are imperfect and require work. That does not mean that you should be miserable during the imperfections and the work. You can create a happy and healthy relationship for all of you.
