When Do I Need to Have an Adoptive Family Picked Out?

There is no deadline when it comes to finding an adoptive family. Most parents don’t decide on a family until they’re at the hospital or after they've brought their baby home. We have worked with birth mothers who have decided on an adoptive family:

• Upon becoming pregnant

• Throughout her pregnancy

• At the hospital on her delivery day

• After arriving home from the hospital

• Months after birth

• Many more

We have over 300 hundred families that want to adopt your baby, and we guarantee that you will find a match that meets all of your preferences. Picking out a family for your baby is a personal choice, and nobody knows what is best for them like you do. It is okay if you do not find what you’re looking for before you give birth; you won’t pick a family unless you feel they are the right fit.
