Things to Consider

When beginning your adoption journey, it is easy to become overwhelmed with all of the choice.

Domestic? International? Newborn? Older child? The possibilities are endless.

One of the very first steps any couple should take before beginning their adoption journey is to decide which type of adoption best suits them. There are many factors to consider when choosing adoption. Below you will find a checklist of just some of the factors to consider when choosing adoption:

Openness: Do you prefer an open, closed or semi-open adoption?

The adoption world is full of industry terms and language that can be confusing to many. As many couples quickly learn, there is a lot more to the adoption process than simply deciding whether or not to pursue an adoption plan -- including what type of adoption they wish to pursue.

One of the most confusing issues facing prospective adoptive couples is the varying types of adoptions. Adding to this confusion is the fact that nearly every adoption professional has a different definition of what a closed, open and semi-open adoption entails.
