Even if you have not made a decision to place your baby for adoption, contacting an adoption agency in Virginia or adoption organization, like Angel Adoption, is a great way to explore your options. Our adoption professionals can answer any questions you have, and provide you with all the information you need to move forward if you choose, and make an adoption plan.
Here is an brief overview of the steps you will take to complete the adoption process in Virginia.
Your adoption plan is customized to your specific wants and needs. Youll browse our database of waiting adoptive parent profiles. You can choose the type of adoption you want, including how much contact youd like to have with your baby and the adopting family during and after the adoption.
If youve chosen to communicate with the family adopting your baby, we can arrange for you to talk on the phone, email, or text with them. Whatever youre most comfortable with! All of the adopting families we work with have been licensed to adopt a baby in the United States and are fully prepared to provide your baby a loving and stable home.
Next, we will set you up to meet with a social worker or attorney at no cost to you. This meeting allows you to tell them about your needs and wants during the adoption, and will also help you to learn more about the legal aspects of adoption.
Throughout your pregnancy, we will provide you with all the support and assistance you need. You can communicate with the adoptive family as much or as little as you wish. As you get closer to your due date, we can help you make arrangements for the birth.
After the birth, youll be able to spend as much time as you would like to in the hospital with your baby, the adoptive family, and/or a counselor. The baby may go directly home from the hospital with the adopting family. Shortly after you will sign the legal documents consenting to the adoption.
After the adoption process is completed, the amount of contact youll have with the baby and adoptive family depends on the type of adoption you choose. The post-adoption experience is different for every birthmother. Your Virginia adoption agency will help you to put together a plan to move forward after the adoption and get the support you need.
A fulfilling part of the adoption process is being able to select the right family for your baby. Before you start looking through adoptive parent profiles, think about what matters most to you. What are your must haves? What are deal breakers? Is there anything you dont want? You have the right to pick any adoptive family based on any set of criteria. Take your time, and review as many profiles as you need to find the family that is the perfect fit.
