Once you have decided to move forward with adoption in Idaho we will help you get started by creating your adoption plan. Your adoption plan outlines your personal wants and needs for the entire adoption process. This includes searching for an adoptive family, choosing what type of adoption you want, and moving forward after the adoption in a healthy way.
One of the most fulfilling parts of the adoption process is choosing the right adoptive family for your baby. Angel Adoption only works with families who are licensed to adopt a baby in the United States. Our families hoping to adopt have been pre-screened and are ready to provide a safe, stable, and loving home for your baby. If youre not ready to be a parent, you can still plan your babys future by choosing a loving adoptive family. No matter what you are looking for, we believe there is a family out there that is a perfect fit for you and your baby.
The first step is contacting an adoption agency in Idaho, or an adoption organization, like Angel Adoption. If you choose to work with us, we will be your guide and support system throughout the entire process. You will view profiles of families hoping to adopt and choose one for your baby. Well help you put together an adoption plan based on your wants and needs, such as whether it will be open or closed, and what youll do after the adoption.
No. As a birthmother, all of our counseling and services are provided at no cost to you. You may also receive financial assistance for housing and pregnancy-related expenses.
No. Adoption is entirely your choice. Your parents cannot legally prevent you from putting your baby up for adoption. You decide what is the best option for you and your baby.
An adoption requires the consent of both parents as long as they meet certain requirements that give them the right to do so. The rights of the father depend on several factors.
If you are married or have lived with him at some point during the pregnancy, his consent will likely be required to place your baby for adoption.
If you were never married and never lived together, most states will not need the birthfathers consent. He may be notified of the pending adoption, and at that point may have the right to consent or object.
If you are unsure of how to proceed with the birthfathers involvement, you can contact us anytime to discuss your situation.
We all have important choices to make in life. If youre experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, deciding if you want to put your baby up for adoption is one of those choices. It is normal to question your thoughts and feelings about such a difficult decision at any point during the process.
Before making your choice, its important to understand what adoption means. Adoption is a permanent, legally binding process that takes place when a woman or set of parents decides not to parent and chooses to allow another family to raise her baby. After the adoption has finalized you will no longer have any legal parental rights.
Every womans situation is unique, and only you know what is best for you and your baby. Take your time with this decision. Carefully consider all of the reasons why you are exploring adoption.
Once youve made your decision, you can tell anyone you choose. Some women choose to tell just a few close friends or family members, while others are comfortable sharing it with anyone who asks. Telling people one at a time or in small groups may be easier than telling everyone at once. Start with the people you think will be most supportive of your decision, as they can give you the courage and support you need to tell the rest.
Every adoptive parent working with Angel Adoption has been thoroughly evaluated through a home study course conducted by a licensed agency. The home study process includes assessments of the parents character, marital stability, financial situation, lifestyle, and medical history. The agency also runs background checks to verify there is no record of criminal activity or child abuse. In addition, a social worker will inspect the familys home to ensure it is a safe environment for a child.
Angel Adoption requires each family to be educated on adopting and parenting. After a baby has been placed with the adoptive family, a social worker will continue to monitor and supervise the family. We go to great lengths to make sure all the families you have to choose from are going to be excellent parents for your baby!
You have the option of choosing which type of adoption is best for you and your baby. Open adoption is the most common form of adoption in the United States. In an open adoption, identifying information is shared, including names, phone numbers, and email addresses. Communication typically includes the exchange of emails, letters, pictures, phone calls, and in-person visits. A semi-open adoption is like an open adoption, but without in-person visits. In a closed adoption, you and the adoptive parents remain anonymous for the entire process and there is no contact after placement.
Choosing what type of adoption youd like doesnt have to be a decision you make alone. Your adoption coordinator will discuss the options with you in detail and can help you decide what will work best for you and your baby.
You will be able to spend as much or as little time as you wish with your baby in the hospital. The hospital experience can be a special one that includes just you and your baby. Or you can spend time with both your baby and the adoptive family together. It is completely up to you.
