Benefits of Choosing Adoption
Adoption is one of the most loving and selfless gifts you can give both your baby and their adoptive family. Your decision to place your baby for adoption will be a long-awaited miracle for a family hoping to adopt.
A Loving Decision
There are many reasons expectant mothers choose adoption in Massachusetts. There are endless factors to consider when you are responsible for another life. Your needs become secondary to feeding, clothing, educating and loving a child. Overall, Massachusetts mothers decide to place their baby for adoption because they care about themselves and, more importantly, they care about their baby. An expectant mother may choose to place her baby with an adoption agency in Massachusetts if:
- She is not ready to be a parent
- She feels she is too young
- She is not in a financial position to provide for a baby
- She fears a baby could interfere with finishing school or furthering her career
- She does not want to be a single parent
Planning for the Future
If you are not ready to be a parent, you can still plan your baby's future by choosing an adopting family for your baby. Adoption can provide your baby:
- Love
- Financial security
- Medical, dental, and eye care
- Safe, stable home life
- Quality education
- Opportunities for a happy, fulfilling life
- Emotionally ready parents
- Loving grandparents and relatives
Getting Started with Massachusetts Adoption Services
Once you have decided to move forward with adoption in Massachusetts we will help you get started by creating your adoption plan.
Your adoption plan outlines your personal wants and needs for the entire adoption process. This includes searching for an adoptive family, choosing what type of adoption you want, and moving forward after the adoption in a healthy way.
Types of Adoption
As part of your adoption plan, you can choose what type of adoption you want. There are three different types of adoption: open adoption, semi-open adoption, and closed adoption. The type of adoption is based on the level of communication you'd like to have with the family and your baby before and after birth. Every type of adoption offers you the option of choosing the adoptive family, communicating with them before the birth, meeting them before the birth, and meeting your baby. Everything is completely up to you, and you can decide what you are most comfortable with. Consider all the differences between each type of adoption before making a decision.
Open Adoption
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. There are varying degrees of openness after the adoption process is finalized. This includes the exchange of emails, letters, pictures, phone calls, and in-person visits.
Semi-Open Adoption
Semi-open adoption is like an open adoption, but it involves only the exchange of photos, emails, and phone calls. The children don't normally have any direct communication with their birthparents.
Closed Adoption
In a closed adoption, no identifying information is shared between birthparents and adoptive families. It is 100% anonymous and there is no contact after placement.
Choosing a Family to Adopt Your Baby
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 profiles of parents waiting to adopt 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? Is there anything you don't want? You have the right to pick any set of adopting parents based on any set of criteria. Take your time, and review as many profiles as you need to. No matter what you are looking for, we believe there is a family out there that is a perfect fit for you and your baby.
To decide which adoptive family is the best match for your baby, consider these questions:
- Are you open to a single parent, or do you prefer a two-parent household?
- Are you open to a gay, lesbian, and/or transgender couple?
- Do you prefer a family in a specific location?
- What kind of family values and views on parenting are you looking for in a family?
- Is the family's religion or spiritual beliefs important to you?
- Do you prefer a family that already has children or plans to have/adopt more?
- Is it important to you that the family have a large extended family they are close with?
- What hobbies and interests do you want the family to have?
- Does it matter to you whether one or both parents work outside the home?
