A Look at the Process on Adopting a Newborn Baby

 

The process of adopting a newborn baby is complicated and navigating it will require assistance. That’s why our team at Unique Adoptions will break it down for the sake of clarity here.

The first step when you want to adopt a baby is considering the type of adoption. Do you want a newborn or older child? Domestic or international? Open or closed adoption? Private or foster care system? It’s important to research so you will make an informed decision that’s best for your family.

You will need to select an adoption professional and this is another area you should investigate well. Make sure you look at all the related factors such as fees, wait times, and support.

A home study will have to be completed on the lives of you and your partner. This includes a check of medical and financial records, criminal records checks, home inspection, and interviews.

As you move along your path to adopt a baby, you have to be prepared to wait for a connection. When one is made, you can reach out to the birth parents and finalize the adoption process.

The last steps of this joyous journey include signing the paperwork and bringing your child home. You will need to have post-placement visits and a finalization hearing to complete the adoption.
