You can choose a family that feels right!
YOU HAVE CHOICES
You choose the family you want for your baby.
What do you picture when you imagine the ideal adoptive family for your baby? Is location important to you? Lifestyle? Religion?
You choose the level of contact you want to have with your baby.
Would you like pictures and letters and updates? Would you like yearly visits? Or do you prefer your child make this decision when they are older?
You choose when you meet the family.
Once you select a family, you have the option to meet and get to know the family as little or as much as you are comfortable with.
