We want your input.

We work closely with you to ensure your comfort and confidence in your choice.
We’d love to work with you, but if you want to consider other options for choosing an adoptive family, consider the following:
- Work with an Adoption Agency besides Heart to Heart Adoptions
Adoption agencies specialize in matching birth mothers with adoptive families. Make sure that you feel comfortable with the services they offer, including:
- Screening and Background Checks: At Heart to Heart Adoptions, we go beyond the necessary vetting process, but most respectable agencies vet prospective adoptive parents, ensuring they meet all legal and safety standards.
- Profiles and Matching: You’ll have the opportunity to review profiles of adoptive families and select ones that align with your preferences and values.

Example: At Heart to Heart Adoptions, we allow you to review profiles, read letters from families, and find those who share your love for maybe animals or outdoor activities. One birth mother loved Halloween. While reviewing profiles, she found a family with the same passion for the fall holiday. Of course, there were many more things to consider than Halloween, but they discovered many commonalities.

- Utilize Online Adoption Platforms
Several online platforms connect birth mothers with prospective adoptive parents. These websites often feature detailed profiles and personal stories of hopeful adoptive families.
- Adoptive Parent Profiles: Read the profiles to learn about their lifestyle, values, and why they want to adopt.
- Direct Communication: Many platforms allow you to communicate directly with potential adoptive parents to ask questions and get to know them better.
Reports of fraud on some online adoption platforms have raised concerns, so it is essential to have access to an attorney to review all legal documents and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.

- Seek Recommendations from Friends and Family
Sometimes, the best connections come from people you know and trust. Let your friends and family know you are considering adoption for your baby, and they might be able to recommend someone.
- Personal Connections: Having a mutual connection can provide a sense of trust and comfort.
- Supportive Network: Friends and family can offer emotional support and advice throughout the process.
However, it’s important to approach the method of going to family and friends with caution. While personal recommendations can be valuable, they may also come with potential pitfalls. Friends and family may have biases or emotional attachments that could influence their recommendations.
Additionally, without professional vetting, there is a risk of overlooking crucial aspects of the adoptive family’s suitability. Ensure that any recommended family still goes through the proper legal and ethical channels to confirm they are the right fit for your child.
- Consult with an Adoption Attorney
An adoption attorney can guide you through the legal aspects of adoption and help you find prospective adoptive parents. They can provide:
- Legal Expertise: Ensure all legal requirements are met.
- Network of Families: Many attorneys have a network of families looking to adopt.
However, there are some concerns to consider when using an adoption attorney. One potential drawback is that attorneys might not have a large pool of families to choose from, which could limit your options. Additionally, the attorney’s network may not be as extensive or diverse as those available through adoption agencies. It’s crucial to thoroughly research and ensure that any family recommended by the attorney is vetted and meets all your criteria for a loving and suitable home for your child.
Tips for Choosing the Right Adoptive Parents
When considering adoptive parents, keep these tips in mind to ensure you find the best match for your baby:
- Trust Your Instincts: Your feelings are important. Choose parents who make you feel comfortable and respected.
- Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask about their parenting philosophy, daily routines, and future plans.
- Consider Values and Lifestyle: Look for families whose values and lifestyle align with your own.
- Meet Multiple Families: It’s okay to meet with several families before making your decision. Take your time to find the right match.


Conclusion
Finding adoptive parents for your baby is a significant and emotional decision. Whether you work with an adoption agency, use online platforms, seek recommendations, or consult with an attorney, many resources are available to help you find the perfect family for your child.
Remember, you have the right to choose adoptive parents who align with your values and whom you believe will provide the loving home your baby deserves.
