Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Episode 55: Choosing The Right Adoption Agency

Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Episode 55: Choosing The Right Adoption Agency

When choosing an adoption agency, as a birth mother some important aspects to consider are the following:

1. Is the agency local?  Will I meet with an agency representative face to face to make an adoption plan?
2. Does the agency have an office or will we meet in public locations to talk about placing baby for adoption?
3. How long has the agency been in practice?  Are they experienced in handling adoptions?
4. Will I have my own case manager or will I share one with the adoptive parents?
5. Are after care services available?  Are they easily accessible?
6. Can the agency provide references from previous clients?
7. How quickly can I make an appointment?
8. Are case managers available 24/7 in case of an emergency?
9. What services will be provided during my pregnancy?  Will I receive financial help for pregnancy adoption?
10. Do they offer both open and closed adoptions?
11. Do they have adoptive families living in-state and out-of-state for me to choose from when they help me find family for my baby?
12. How do they handle communication after placement?
