Choosing An Adoptive Family For My Baby
Can I Choose the Adoptive Family For My Baby?
Choosing the Type of Adoption
You can discuss:
Open adoption

Choosing How You Stay Connected
Depending on your adoption plan, you may discuss:
In-person visits
Phone calls
Video calls
Emails
Letters
Photos and updates
Other forms of communication
As your relationship with the adoptive family grows throughout the case your Adoption Professional will help you to begin to discover the types of contact you want to have with the baby and adoptive family throughout the life of the child & will also help discuss your ideas with the adoptive family. Ultimately, your attorney will provide you the option to create a Post Adoption Communication Agreement with the adoptive family to ensure that everyone has a clear documented agreement.
