Answer 6

Seriously consider your options and find out what resources are available to you.  The suicide rate of birthmothers is more than 20% higher than the general population and the children are not necessarily happier or better cared for.  Adoption is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Do not rely on advice from the adoption agency because if you are white and not on drugs they will do everything in their power to get you to sign those papers.

Answer 7

First, make a list of the qualities you want in the adoptive parents.  Do you want the parents to have experience raising other children, or would you rather the baby not have siblings?  Do you want the baby to be raised into a particular religion?  Etc.  

From there, you can look through adoptive parent profiles and contact the families that meet your criteria.  Someone already mentioned parentprofiles.com; similarly, if you use an attorney or agency, they will have you look through a binder of profiles.

Hope that helped.  Best wishes!

Answer 8

PLEASE contact a reputable adoption agency rather than using a website.  You could also contact your State's foster care program.  There are so many people out there who try to scam potential adoptive parents.  It is sad, but true.  

I know that is probably not the answer you want to hear, but just be careful using the internet for adoption purposes.  

Good Luck to you.

Answer 9

It appears by the questions you have previously asked that are not the teen girl.

Which then leads me to believe that you are either a family member of the teen in question, or you are the ones wanting to adopt.

If you are the family member of the teen girl, I am totally creeped out by how you phrased "we want to do open adoption" because "we" does not have to do with anything.  It is up to the girl and the father of that child.  Adoption is one of the hardest choices this teen will ever have to make and by moving forward with adoption, it will have life changing consequences on her and the child in question.  What you want needs to stop now before you do more damage than what already has been started.  Please read this study that the Evan B Donaldson Adoption Institute put forward about protecting the rights of Birthmothers in the adoption process.  If adoption is her choice, then let it be her choice.

If you are a potential adoptive parent, please reconsider trolling message boards looking for teens in crisis pregnancies.

Answer 10

I'm with some of the others.

first: make a list of qualities that you want in a family.

second: decide whether you want an open or closed adoption.

third: contact SEVERAL adoption agencies in your area and do interviews with them all to figure out the best one for you.

fourth: when you do find one, give them this list of qualities that you made.

fifth: meet and get together with several potential couples. Get to know them a bit. Some times you can get a 'gut feeling' just from meeting them. You can even set up a second or third meeting.

Then go from there. These are the steps I took when I made my decision to place my boy with someone.

Answer 11

What you need is objective information, as you will be bombarded with agencies hoping you will place with them doing any kind of web search and their information is often biased.

Brenda Romanchik, a first-mother in an open adoption, has a wonderful resource in her website including things to look for in an ethical agency and questions you should ask yoursefl before you even consider placing. Go to http://www.openadoptioninsight.org/

Answer 12

Look in your local yellow pages under adoption.  There are tons of places there.  Before using them, check the Better Business Bureau.  Good for you!

Answer 13

I can adopt your baby if you live in australia

Answer 14

Americanadoption.com

the best ones that i know of. I put my little girl up for adoption and got to meet the family as well as recieve regular updates and pictures. Also you can pick your family, and they help you out with expenses.

Answer 15

DO NOT LOOK FOR A WEBSITE!

look for a good adoption couselor or agency. I recommend going with an adoption lawyer as they will design a program that you both want. Adoption agencies do not really do that.

I am going through the adoption process and went to see an adoption counselor and do not regret it! She is amazing. I feel safe and good about my decision and the family I have chosen!

Answer 16

I would recommend that you contact an agency in your area, and here is why....

What the birthmother is about to go through is very emotional.  An agency is equipped with social workers who will support her, help her sort things out, and also, provide many potential adoptive parents/scrapbooks/profiles etc., to her based on what "her desire" is in an adoptiive couple.(Open Adoption, etc.,)  If there are medical issues or insurance issues, the agency will help you with that as well. Not to mention, all of the legalities that go along with adoption.

If you would like more info from an agency, mine is in Bethesda Maryland and called the Barker Foundation. You can view their website at barkerfoundation.org

Good Luck to you, and I wish you Peace throughout your process.

Answer 17

I know a really great one to try out parentprofiles.com. its really good.

good luck i love this site

Answer 18

All adoption agencies work with teens considering adoption.  Try abc adoptions website for all kinds of general info about agencies, c ounselors, forms.  And teen hotlines if you wanna talk to other teens about adoption.  There are many adoption forums for birthmothers, too.  If all that fails, you can call the social workers at Angel Adoptions 713-523-2273 or email them at [e-mail].  Good luck to you.  Be very careful online.

Answer 19

u can email human service at the court house nearset u.  

      thats what I did Iam looking to adopt and they have wonderful programs.  If u need some one to talk to  email me at   [e-mail]

Answer 20

I would just go to the local planned parenthood and tell them what you would like to do and they can give you the resources you need plus great support.

Answer 21

I used to foster for this agency, they are fantastic to birth and adopted parents, they always put the child first.  Definitely worth looking in to.
