A fulfilling part 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.
Sorting through adoptive parent profiles can be tough, and overwhelming. Before you start looking think about what matters most to you. What are your must haves? What are deal breakers?

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.
You have the option of choosing which type of adoption is right for you. 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.
