What to Expect When Giving Up Your Baby for Adoption:
While there are nuances between traditional and last-minute adoptions, the overall process remains consistent. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Make Your Decision and Contact a Professional The first step is to decide that last-minute adoption in Indiana is the right choice for you. If you need guidance, support is readily available. Call 1-800-ADOPTION to connect with an adoption specialist who can provide you with detailed information and support.
Step 2: Browse Adoptive Families Your adoption specialist will help you identify your preferences for adoptive families. You’ll review profiles that include:
-
Family size
-
Hometown
-
Careers and hobbies
-
Motivations to adopt
Each profile includes photos and videos to give you a sense of the family’s life. All prospective adoptive families have completed a comprehensive home study to ensure a safe and stable environment for your baby. This includes background checks, interviews, and home inspections.
Step 3: Meet and Screen Adoptive Families Once you’ve narrowed down potential families, you’ll have the opportunity to meet them and see how they interact with your baby. This step allows you to discuss your desired post-placement plan and establish an open adoption relationship if that’s your choice. Options might include:
-
Receiving photos and updates
-
Scheduling video chats and phone calls
-
Exchanging social media updates
-
Planning in-person meetings
Step 4: Choose an Adoptive Family After meeting the families and discussing your post-placement plan, you’ll select the family that feels right for you and your baby. Even if you’re considering a last-minute adoption, you have full access to our network of waiting families.
Step 5: Sign the Paperwork The final step is to formalize the adoption by signing the necessary legal documents. Your adoption specialist and a lawyer will assist you through this process. Once the paperwork is signed, your adoption is complete, and your post-placement plan will be put into action.
