Choosing The Right Adoption Agency
Eric Morgan
When you are looking to adopt you should research different
adoption agencies very carefully. There are many things to
consider in order to help you narrow down to a list of specific
adoption agencies. Here are some questions to ask yourself
before you being any research:
1. Do you want a domestic adoption (within the United States)
or an international adoption?
2. If you do want to adopt internationally which countries
would you consider adopting from?
3. Do you want to adopt an infant or older child?
4. Do you want to work with an adoption agency close to your
home or anywhere within the United States?
5. How will you finance your adoption?
6. How soon do you want to adopt?
7. Which races are you willing to adopt? (Caucasian, Asian,
African American, etc.)
8. Do you want a boy or girl?
9. Do you have any special circumstances? (single-parent, gay
couple, older couple, etc.)
10. Do you know anyone who has adopted before?
Once you ask yourself these questions you can develop a list of
adoption agencies that you can request information from. Most
adoption agencies will send you an information packet free of
charge about their adoption services. Research on the internet
and write down agencies that you feel can meet your needs. Once
you have at least ten ask them to send you an information
packet. Review the packets and throw away the ones that you do
not like. With the remaining agencies call them and ask more
questions about their services, how they operate, and other
common questions.
Finally choose an adoption agency. Once you have chosen an
agency double check with the state licensing department and
ensure that they are in good standing. You may also want to
check with your local BBB to see if any complaints have been
filed against them. Finally ask the agency for some references
of previous adoptive parents that you can talk to personally.
Once they have ‘passed the test’ you can start filling out the
paperwork to adopt a child.
