How do I create an adoption plan?

Together, we create a well-thought-out, realistic plan that puts the interest of your child first and allows you to be in control of your adoption process. Take a deep breath and trust in your ability to make the best possible decisions.

 

Life after adoption

Following the signing of your adoption paperwork, the baby goes home from the hospital with the adoptive family. Your adoption coordinator stays connected to offer guidance and support to both you and the adoptive family as you adjust to your new normal. Both parties are encouraged to reach out to us as much as needed for as long as desired.
