Can I Put My Child Up for Adoption?

Yes, you can put your child up for adoption. Your adoption professional will work with you to create an adoption plan, find the right adoptive family, receive financial assistance and much more. We will be there for you throughout your entire adoption journey.

How Can I Put My Child Up for Adoption?

The adoption process varies depending on how old your child is. Based on your situation and needs, your adoption agency will gather all the necessary information to help you create a personalized adoption plan that suits your preferences.  For the most part, that process encompasses five general steps.

Here is what that process includes:

• Step 1: Receive financial assistance and support from American Adoptions.
• Step 2: Choose the perfect adoptive family for your child.
• Step 3: Choose the type of post-placement relationship you want.
• Step 4: Discuss the forms of post-placement contact you’ll use.
• Step 5: Complete the placement.

Here at our agency, we’ll explain each step of the process to make everything as smooth and straightforward as possible. We’ll also help you determine which type of adoption relationship (open, semi-open or closed) that you want with your child and the adoptive family.

For most of our birth mothers, choosing an open adoption has many benefits. Open adoption allows you to build a relationship with your child and stay in touch for years to come.

If you’re ready to learn more about the benefits of open adoption, then contact us online at any time.

What Age Is It Too Late for Adoption?

There is no deadline to place a child for adoption. But, the adoption process can get harder as your child grows older. If you’re looking to pursue adoption through an agency, then most can only handle placements of children under 4.

If you’re looking to place your child for adoption, then here is how you can be proactive about it:

• Talk to a birth parent specialist and ask them any questions you have about adoption.
• View profiles of waiting families to figure out what’s best for your child.
• Read stories from real birth parents that have been in your shoes.

Where Can I Put My Child Up for Adoption?

If your child is 4 or younger, then the best way to pursue adoption is through a national adoption agency, such as American Adoptions. With our national reach, we have all the necessary resources to handle every part of your process from start to finish.

Because we work with adoptive families all across the country, you have the best chance of finding the perfect family for your child. This larger scope also ensures that you have all the resources and support you need for each step of your adoption journey.

Can I Put My Child in Foster Care?

No, you cannot choose to put your child in the foster care system. Rather, you can choose to place them with a private adoption agency if they’re under 4 years old. Our team will help you get the most out of your adoption experience. Through adoption, you’re in complete control of the future your child has.
