How to Find People Looking to Adopt in Alabama

There are many families looking to adopt a baby in Alabama and throughout the United States. A prospective birth mother’s adoption professional can provide adoptive parent profiles of these families.

Here’s how the process typically works:

Step 1: Make an Adoption Plan

In Alabama, an expectant mother will work with an adoption professional to create an adoption plan. This plan includes the characteristics she hopes to find in parents looking to adopt a newborn, what she wants her post-placement agreement to look like, her birth plan and more.

Step 2: Review Adoption Profiles

Once a potential birth mother has discussed her adoption plan with a professional, she can begin looking at prospective adoptive parent profiles for couples in Alabama or other states. Her adoption professional can help narrow down the profiles to a few that fit the criteria she is looking for in a family for her baby.

Whether her adoption agency is local or national, they will have access to profiles of potential adoptive families in Alabama. She won’t be limited to choosing a family located in Alabama though. If she wants to place her child with a family out of state, a national agency can provide her hundreds of options.

Step 3: Find Adoptive Parents for Your Baby

After the potential birth mother has had time to look through the adoptive family profiles, she can move forward with meeting the family she prefers. After the initial meeting, the potential birth mother can decide whether she wants to move forward with the family as potential parents for her baby. If so, she and prospective family can get to know each other throughout the pregnancy. This will be the relationship that expands into a lifelong open adoption, which is beneficial for all members of the adoption triad.

If she decides to not move forward with the prospective adoptive family, she always has the option to choose another family up until placement.
