Adoptive Parent Requirements

 

Here are the characteristics we look for in our adoptive families:

  1. Must have a strong desire to love a child.

  2. Must have the ability and determination to raise a child not biologically born to you.

  3. Must be in good physical and mental health.

  4. Must have a reasonably stable financial situation to properly care for a child.

  5. Preferably are open to adopt children of either sex but we will try to place within your desires when possible.  (Note: since birthparents typically choose families today, your chance of receiving a child quickly depends considerably on your openness to gender and background of the child.)

  6. Must submit profile book including a Dear Birthparent letter and photos.

  7. Must have approved homestudy in force.

If this sounds like you, we can help!
