We want to adopt a baby or todder....has anyone had success with online profile sites?

Question

We are looking into both private and state adoption and hope to adopt a little girl age 0-4 years. Do any of the online parent profile sites really work?

Answer 1

My husband and I actually did foster care and found the 2 that we adopted.  They were 3 and 23 months when they came to live with us and 5 & 4 when we finally adopted them.  You could always check with your local Human Services.  I also know someone who went through www.adoptionlink.org and got a baby in a month!  It depends how picky you are about what type of child you are willing to adopt.

Answer 2

Maybe a Yahoo group for pregnant teens might give you an opportunity to meet a troubled teen who wants to find a good home for her baby.  My daughter and her boyfriend are both 14. They are both extremely bright kids with high hopes for the future and both plan to go to college. If she told me she was pregnant, we would consider adoption.  I'm sure there are others in the same situation. I would never use an agency.  I would want to know that the baby was with a good loving home.

Answer 3

adoptuskids.com claims to make matches. we've been trying to work with them since February. We're still waiting.

Answer 4

Of course they do, but how long it takes, and for how many couples it work is another matter.

Check out references, just like you would for an attorney or adoption agency!

Network online on adoption forums, like for abcadoptions.co, adoption.org or adoption.com

Network with parents who have used the sites, and find out!  Parent Profiles seems to be one of the most popular.  But why not register with an agency, too?

Good luck!

Answer 5

I'm in the same boat me and my husband want to adopt if I don't become pregnant if you find anything out let me know too :)
