- Do I want my child raised in a specific part of the country like the Midwest, the East Coast, or the West Coast?

How to Find People Looking to Adopt in Minnesota
Can you pick who you adopt your baby to in Minnesota? Yes!
Knowing this answer, you may ask, “How do I begin the process of looking for a couple to adopt my baby in Minnesota?”
You start by working with your adoption professional to create an adoption plan. The adoption plan that you create will include all of your preferences for who will adopt your baby. If you need assistance in what things you should consider for your child, just ask your adoption professional what most prospective birth mothers include in their adoption plans. Your adoption professional is there to help you along your adoption journey, including helping you find the right adoptive family.
After you create your adoption plan, your adoption professional will use it to identify a list of approved waiting families. You will be presented with adoptive family profiles that match the desires you have laid out in your adoption plan.
Here is where the fun really begins! You get to pick which family you want to meet and get to know. You never know — the first profile you pick may be the perfect match for you and baby!
