Ronnie & Peter

“We started having serious conversations about it in early 2023 and then started our research. Angel was the first place we found and spoke with. We instantly knew it was the right place for us. We are so grateful for everyone who surrounded us during our adoption journey and know that without their support, we wouldn't be the dads we are today to Jackson.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Our LGBTQ Adoption Agency

Can single LGBTQ+ individuals adopt newborns?
Absolutely! Single parents create incredible families, and you're already part of a vibrant community. Over a third of our placements go to single LGBTQ+ parents. Many birth mothers choose single parents for their intentional, dedicated parenting approach. If you're 25 or older, we're excited to support you through personalized guidance at every step.
Do birth mothers actually choose LGBTQ+ families?
Absolutely, and increasingly often! Birth mothers today actively seek diverse, loving families who represent the inclusive world they envision. Our outreach and educational efforts ensure birth mothers appreciate the resilience and unique perspectives LGBTQ+ parents bring, as shown by countless heartwarming adoption stories we proudly feature.
How much does adoption cost for LGBTQ+ families?
Investments typically range from $20,000 to $40,000, depending on your personalized services, covering legal fees, counseling, birth mother expenses, and more. Our flexible financing options include competitive low APR plans to help you build your family free from financial pressure.
Do we need to be married to adopt as a same-sex couple?
Yes. We expertly navigate legal finalization in LGBTQ friendly jurisdictions and manage all interstate requirements, ensuring your parental rights are universally recognized.
Will our adoption be recognized in all states?
Yes. We expertly navigate legal finalization in LGBTQ friendly jurisdictions and manage all interstate requirements, ensuring your parental rights are universally recognized.
Do we both get parental rights immediately?
In most states, both partners receive full parental rights upon finalization. Your coordinator and attorney will walk you through the specific process in your state, ensuring both parents are legally recognized and protected from day one.
Can we adopt if we haven't been together very long?
Every love story is unique, and we evaluate everyone's circumstance individually. We assess your stability, shared commitment, and parenting readiness. Our personalized advice helps strengthen your profile, clearly guiding the ideal timing for your adoption.
Is It Harder for LGBT Parents to Adopt?
No, it's not harder for LGBT parents to adopt. At Angel Adoption, the adoption process is the same for ALL hopeful families, regardless of what type of family they are. All of our hopeful families are treated equally.
Do gay, lesbian, and LGBT adoptive parents wait longer to adopt a baby than non-LGBT parents?
Hopeful gay, lesbian, and LGBT adoptive parents may feel they will have a harder time adopting, but that's not true. The time it takes any family to adopt depends on a number of other factors, including your adoption education, completing your adoption home study, finishing your adoptive family profile, and how long it takes you to be chosen by an expectant mother. Your family type, however, does not affect that timeframe, and we see same-sex and LGBT adoptions fall into the same length of time as non-LGBT adoptions.
What Should LGBT Adoptive Parents Look For?
For any prospective LGBT parents considering adoption, there are a few ideas and important factors to keep in mind. A Foundation of Support: Regardless of what type of adoption it is, the process can be emotional and challenging. It's important that adoptive LGBT families have a reliable support system in place. This support system could be friends, family, or community members who will be there to help navigate sometimes difficult moments in the journey. Professional Commitment to Inclusivity and Sensitivity: Not every adoption agency, professional, or service provider will treat LGBT or same-sex adoptions equally or with the appropriate cultural sensitivity. Adoptive parents must research their options and make sure that those helping them in the journey are doing so with open support and understanding.
How long does LGBTQ+ adoption really take?
Most families celebrate their homecoming within 18 to 24 months from application to placement. Timelines vary based on state regulations, your specific preferences, and milestone completions. Your dedicated coordinator creates a personalized adoption roadmap, clearly outlining steps specific to LGBTQ+ families.
Will our sexual orientation affect our chances of adoption?
Not at all. We partner with adoption-friendly states and professionals who strictly prohibit discrimination and celebrate family diversity. Your readiness and heartfelt commitment are what truly matter, and we proactively advocate for you throughout the adoption process.
What if the birth mother changes her mind after meeting us?
While uncommon, we are prepared for every scenario with compassion. Your coordinator offers emotional guidance, practical next steps, and immediate advocacy to keep your adoption goals on track.
What if we're transgender or non-binary?
You belong in this journey, regardless of your gender identity. Our LGBTQ affirming team has extensive experience successfully supporting transgender and non-binary adoptive parents, ensuring you are valued, fully supported, and celebrated throughout your adoption journey.
How do we explain our family structure in our profile?
We help craft your profile to authentically reflect your love story, values, and support system. Our experienced team provides guidance and success stories to help birth mothers clearly visualize the nurturing, inclusive home you will create.
What happens if we move to a different state after adoption?
Your parental rights are permanent and protected nationwide. We will assist with necessary paperwork, ensuring your legal foundation remains secure wherever you live.
How do home studies work for LGBTQ+ families?
Our social workers approach home studies with cultural competence and deep sensitivity. They ensure the process respects your identity, focusing on comfort, and affirming your family's readiness.
Do expectant mothers choose gay, lesbian, and LGBT adoptive families?
Yes! An expectant mother's preferences for the types of families she is open to exploring are personal and depend on many factors; however, many expectant mothers we work with want to browse profiles for all different types of families. Increasingly, more and more birthmothers are choosing same-sex or gay adoptions.
What challenges do children of gay, lesbian, and LGBT families face?
Studies show that children growing up with gay, lesbian, or LGBT parents are no different from children raised by non-LGBT parents. LGBTQ+ community members have been facing prejudice and discrimination all their lives, so you might already be aware of the sort of difficulties your child may face growing up in a LGBT family. Most see it as an opportunity for their child to grow as a person and develop a greater sense and appreciation for diversity and inclusion. You should be prepared for some rough spots over the years, but the same is true for all adoptive parents, so don't let that deter you from your dream of adopting a newborn baby.
What are the laws regarding gay and lesbian adoption and LGBT adoption?
Over the years, hopeful gay, lesbian, and LGBT parents have struggled against discriminatory laws that didn't allow them to legally adopt a baby. Fortunately, the country has made great strides in this area. Currently all U.S. states permit gay, lesbian, and LGBT adoption; however, specific adoption laws and processes vary from state to state. When you reach the point in the adoption process where you need an attorney, we can refer you to someone who is experienced in gay, lesbian, and LGBT adoption. In fact, we have a whole network of adoption attorneys and professionals across the country ready to assist you when the time comes, regardless of what laws are involved. If you have questions or concerns about the LGBT adoption process or the adoption laws in your state, please don't hesitate to contact us.
