ADOPTIVE FAMILIES

Most adoptive couples are over 30, have been married on the average of seven years, own their own home and are successfully employed. Adoptive couples on the average waited two or more years to parent and many have been medically diagnosed as infertile.

In most cases, the birth parents design the adoption plan for their child. They can:

• Choose a family from our selection of families that have been screened, educated and are enthusiastic about open adoption.
• Decide if they want the adoptive family involved in the birth or hospital experience.
• Decide mutually with the adoptive family what kind of relationship they would like with them and the child in the future.

Our adoptive families are carefully screened and educated about adoption as a way to build their family. The screening process includes a thorough SAFE Home Study, Open Adoption education and a series of medical tests and exams. In the education process, adoptive parents meet and discuss with former birth mothers their hopes and dreams of parenting. They also experience first hand the pain involved for the birth parent(s) in planning an adoption. Adoptive families learn how important and helpful it is for their adoptive children to have open access to information about their birthparents. Through this process, adoptive parents come to a deeper understanding of the mutual love and concern both they and the birth parents have for their children.

Open Adoption is truly a gift. At Creative Adoptions, we encourage our birth mothers to choose their child’s parent(s). As a prospective parent, you can create an album all about you. Your likes, hobbies, family members, anything and everything that you want to share about yourself. From this, the birth parent will choose you to love, cherish and welcome her baby as your own. We look forward to meeting you in person to begin the adoption process!
